Marcos There is a separate mail list for commit messages, which includes CVS and Mercurial. I find it very useful, but agree others may not. The list is at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-dap-commits/ You can unsubscribe by sending an email with ‘unsubscribe’ in the subject to public-dap-commits-request@w3.org The DAP editors are doing a great job updating the group on the public list, so unsubscribe if you wish. regards, Frederick Frederick Hirsch, Nokia Chair DAP @fjhirsch On Jun 17, 2014, at 2:05 PM, Marcos Caceres <w3c@marcosc.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > Can we please stop sending automatic commit messages to the mailing list!

Then, if a spec needs to change, the Editor sends a PR and everyone that is interested in the change can review the change. Or, for small changes, the editor can make a change and the change set can just be viewed online for those tracking changes. > > Forcing everyone to receive messages that they are not going to read is very unhelpful and kills people's ability to participate in this list. > > > -- > Marcos Caceres > >
