I'll quote Pelagos question from the forum:<br><br>"It would be interesting if they could give figures on how the number
varies with different karma thresholds, and if they could say at which
number of users they are happy emailing (e.g. are they happy when the
number goes below 10,000, below 5,000, or what, and what karma threshold
does this correspond to)."<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/11/8 Cosimo Kroll <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:zehjotkah@googlemail.com">zehjotkah@googlemail.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
Or better yet: with a number of forum posts.

<br>
</div>I saw zehjotkah's tweet; it does seem like a crazy number of emails.<br>
Is it being proposed - by the Coding Competition - that *anyone* with<br>
a <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a> account will be invited to vote?<br>
<br>
Lots of people have created them, but aren't really part of the<br>
"community". If those are the rules of the Coding Competition, I<br>
suggest they are changed to limit the number of emails; or blogs/list<br>
announcements/banners on <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a> are used to inform people of it.<br>
<br>
When I worked in corporate communications, everyone thought their<br>
particular topic was the single most important thing... <clarkson>in<br>
the world</clarkson> and wanted it emailed to everyone. This is not<br>
one of those situations (and the situations in which all <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a><br>
account holders would be emailed seem limited to things like security<br>
issues with the accounts database, or the future of the site).<br>
<br>
Hope that helps,<br>
<br>
