I agree this is a discussion worth having. I think the policy should be more objective to give us a clear policy to abide by and enforce. Suggestions for policy: 1)No tool announcements. Best rational I can think of for this one: Tool announcments should go to the specific group they are for. Pentest, webappsec, etc are all better places for announcements. 2)Only announcements for OSI approved projects. Webappsec has this policy I think, and it rewards people who share the most openly. 3)Announcements for only no-cost projects. Similar to the above 4)Announcements for initial and major feature releases only, with a limit of 1 announcement per x months(3,6,12- whatever we deem reasonable as an upper bound. I think one of the lists has this policy, and it seems the most reasonable one to me. Steve Pete Smith wrote:
John, The following line is within the list charter: Alterations will be made after consultation with list members and a consensus has been reached. I would like to suggest that advertising for products and tools (free or otherwise) be limited to just an initial announcement to tell people about the tool. Sending updates for every single minor update made is just useless spam for the majority of people seeing it, the people who are interested in a product beyond the initial announcement can and will keep upto date on changes themselves. http://lists.grok.org.uk/full-disclosure-charter.html Cheers, Pete
