Sorry, but i disagree - this _might_ be highly relevant to users of Magnolia
and hence would probably be welcomed on the Magnolia mailing list. For a general
OSCOM list i find this rather spammy. (Eeck, the original post actually got killed
by my spam filter: "professional training" ....).
I'd really apreciate if this list would only carry anouncements about new or updated
projects and not everything possibly relating to OSS content management systems. There
_are_ mailing lists specializing on the many porjects there are. I'd hate to see
every consultant that offers commercial support for one of the (many) OS CMS to post
his/her newest price list here.
Sorry, just my 2 (Euro)Cent
