IMHO, an acceptable email might be a "New version of XYZ released. See ABC site for details." should be acceptable as a broadcast caveated that it is part of GNUCASH, uses first-person by-products of gnucash, or refers to a product that facilitates a niche issue related to gnucash.

I definitely would not want this board - named as gnucash-users - should be a used for anything other than gnucash discussion.

Tough call.

Wm & Patrick both have valid points for sure.

I too am generally fine with announcements, but ongoing discussion could be a problem.

If only open source projects are allowed, I could see that as reasonable, with the caveat that topics or discussion outside of how this 3rd party project is used *with GnuCash* are out of scope.

They shouldn't leach or hi-jack this list as a substitute for independent support and should themselves urge users to partake of their own offered channels.

I'm also fine if you bar all such topics/announcements, at least from the creators.

If regular users alert someone in a relevant reply to a particular resource, that's a different matter. (such as in reply to a feature request, someone posts a link to one of these projects that already fits the bill. Any discussion thereof is in a limited context and should not
metastasize.)

Regards,
Adrien
