Also useful would be "How shop X is planning to contribute next month" -- if possible. On whichever list people prefer.
That might lead to more cooperation.

Personally, I think that these posts are useful. It has a lot less noise than many of the other mails. If you don't like it, it only takes 2 second to skip the e-mail ... ?
Well, at this point, a few minutes wading through and removing all the opinion posts. Of course, if I really wasn't interested, only a few more seconds ignoring and deleting all of them.
I agree with both. What I've found useful was the effort put in the description. It helps to see if it is something you could be interested into. Even proposals would be very helpful and help consolidation.
While I agree that Planet would be a more suitable place for such announcements I'd say that dev ml doesn't have such an high traffic to justify another ml for such announcements that are still valuable.
If that kind of announcements will grow in number it will be both a good sign and a sign they have to move elsewhere.
I am +1 on shops doing write ups of what they've done and what they're planning to do, a la the posts Morbus has been making. I however do agree that the dev list isn't the right place for it. Planet makes sense (I've done a little of that myself recently), or consulting list would work as well. (The former probably gets more readers, which is either good or bad depending on your POV.) --Larry Garfield
