I agree allowing the public to manage notes would work pretty well but for the record, I don't feel the "problem" sits with unmoderated new notes but rather, the old ones ... Spreading the love would help this too though, right?

Yes, that is the idea. I ended up having to unsubcribe from the php-notes list in order to try to cut down on my mail volume.

I get 1000+ messages a day, but I live by copiou. filtering. :-)

But if I could only get a partial set of note notices by signing up to only receive notes for certain chapters that interest me, or individual manual pages it would be much less of a burden and I would be able to contribute at least a little bit again. And I think many others could be convinced to do the same.

Okay, this makes sense for reducing the required recipient-based-filtering.... I was worried about the amount of subscribers "reducing". If notes maintainers only picked a small area, some areas (say YP or sessions) could fill up quickly, with nobody maintaining it.

And we aren't really talking about letting "the public" do this. Simply people with CVS accounts for now.

Thought: Could the current maintainer of an extension get all the current errata posts for that extension? I used to assume that was the case (many moons ago), but, since it obviously isn't, I'm all for creating filtering techniques to ease the burden on follks, and enlisting more folks into the doc improvement/maintenance. -Ronabop --2D426F70|759328624|00101101010000100110111101110000 ron@opus1.com, 520-326-6109, http://www.opus1.com/ron/ The opinions expressed in this email are not necessarily those of myself, my employers, or any of the other little voices in my head.
