That would entail searching for people who are just starting packages and sending each one mail. I agree it would give better results -- if we could do it. But it would be a lot of work.

It isn't better if it isn't feasible. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
