Hi,

 > Therefore, I propose getting some important rules together for posting
 > to this list, and publish them at some central point (e.g. at the
 > subscription page at xensource), so  new people can read it _before_
 > subscribing. (BTW, I am not sure if the subscription messages contain
 > such info already, but obviously not everybody reads them).

on top of putting it at the subscription page (which probably many people won't
read), I would automatically send them as a mail to the list every month or so,
as it is done in many newsgroups, as a gentle reminder of what is considered
appropriate behaviour (and as a reminder of how to write a decent question:
there are so many posts that you know from the very beginning that nobody is
going to be bothered to reply because they are so poorly written).

Cheers,
Angel de Vicente
