Oh.... you are trying to keep an eye on the part between

"i copy it into the batching area"
vs
"it goes public".

because in the past, I have sometimes taken a while between the two.
As a side note, I anticipate that gap to be much much shorter these days,
since the processes runs smoother for me now. 

Additionally, our front webpage, and the "newpkgs" mailing list, both
actually get their information from the internal batching area :-}
So we already have an "updated daily" reference of what is in that area.

As mentioned previously, I could make the front web page updated hourly, if
you like.
Unless people really want an actual individual EMAIL to go out somewhere, 
every time a package hits that area.

Do people want to see that? or is the insert on www.opencsw.org enough?
(either once a day, or once an hour?)
