Hello,

I find that the number of mails I receive from mailings about India
and Wikimedia is a bit excessive. It would be be easy to reduce it
significantly by not cross-posting every announcements, and by not
sending congratulations to the list, but to the person concerned.

Thanks Yann for bringing this up.

I have updated list guidelines[1] with note on the individual mails. I am not sure about cross-posting, since that might continue to happen for the sake of informing all. You could consider subscribing into digest mode if required :)

All,

IIRC, The mailing list guidelines page was created when there was some ruckus on the list last time. Can we all make a conscious effort to put across whats acceptable on the list and whats not, there and come reach consensus, so there everyone can follow them which will save lot of time? Mailman also has a feature to post a reminder every month and we could use it, so newbies will also know the list guidelines.
