Announce submissions are reviewed most days. This is as described on its info page. Announce is probably the most clearly documented and reliably serviced ALUG list.
"Most days", hang on, this is an almost anarchaic group, with some long term members, that aren't even trusted enough to be allowed to moderate the announce list? Surely having this task as a one man excercise is just plain dumb in the case of a group like ALUG, we have no real structure, but there's a core set of people that I would trust in maintaining the site and lists. I'd suggest BJ and Adam Bower for moderating the Alug Announce list, as well as yourself. I see the point about next day posts, but it is just an excuse as there's no one else maintaining the list.
(Hey, while I'm on track, who has actually got access to the alug website? and what happens if they get run over by a bus? who's got recent backups? are we going to have another situation where the site dies and it takes ages for someone to get round to it?)
