Koha mailing list welcome message draft

[Galen Charlton]

Hi,

Nicole Engard has completed a draft of a welcome message to be sent to
new subscribers of this mailing list.  The draft can be found on the
wiki at

http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=koha_list_welcome

Please comment on the text of the message by responding to this
message or by editing the wiki page.  After allowing a few days for
feedback, I'll ask the mailing list admin to set up the final version
as the welcome message.

Regards,

Galen

Hi Galen, Nicole & all,

Five remarks:

1. Thanks for the nice job, Nicole !

2. I'd keep the text as abbreviation-free as possible (ILS, FOSS...).

3. I'd rather have the pointers at the top and the remarks about
netiquette at the bottom, but IMO the way it is now has also its
wisdom because it is likely that people will read the complete
message, whereas is the pointers come first they may follow them and
stop reading.

4. Regarding the netiquette, you may want to cite RFC 1855.

5. Thanks for the nice job, Nicole !

Cheers,
Sébastien.

PS: replying rather than editing because I'm not that sure...

The acronyms have been spelled out now.

OK, I've left it as is.

I've added a reference to that RFC.

Thanks also to Rachel, Irma, David, and MJ for useful edits to the
wiki page.  Unless there are any more comments, I'll ask that the Koha
list welcome message be set to wiki version this Friday (US).

Regards,

Galen
