I think it is preferable to have low high quality (or good) posts in the newsgroup than a bot spamming update for every package in CTAN. What purpose does it serve that RSS/Atom doesn't? Anyone interested in discussing a package update can make a thread. I also like the idea that a separate newsgroup comp.text.tex.ctan to keep this newsgroup from getting overrun with the announcements. But then it is redundant with a feed reader. >It's a bit of a shame, but it is understandable that this is not a >priority for the CTAN Team any longer, only a few dinosaurs know what >the Usenet is or even access it. Agree. It is more work for CTAN team/admin. Better not bother. Annada On 2024/10/10 05:56, Annada Behera wrote: > To be honest, I think CTAN Announcements are spam.
