I tend to feel that the biojava-dev list should be
serving those of us who are actively interested in the
development and implementation details of BioJava. The
biojava-l list is for questions, anouncements and user
support. From this point of view I don't see why the
daily cvs summary shouldn't go to -dev.

On the other hand, I guess we could set up yet another
mailing list specifically for these cvs messages. Not
my preferred option though. As you say, let's hear
what people think.

Oh - is it possible to avoid sending "nothing changed
today" notifications on booring days?

Rock & Role! This will almost make us look
professional! If we do nightly builds, it would be
neat to put an entry in the biojava.jar manifest with
a time-stamp we can use to build exactly the same jar
in the future. That way we can throw away builds each
week but still debug user problems if they download a
nightly build.
