[csw-maintainers] Security alerts and updates

Hi

I'm not really sure it is "enough" from a user point of view. I think it 
is important to find easily this kind of information on the web site for 
a user.

Moreover, the channel we use to send information is not the only point. 
It is easy to send the same announce to the list, to a blog (worpress 
allow posting from smtp) and to a rss feed.

But... my question is (blaming no one don't worry) how long since we 
last add a security announce on that list ?

In fact, i think this list is like user list. It need to brought back to 
life.

The discussion, is also meant to make things clear for everyone, i am 
certainly not the only one wondering about what is our process. We 
should talk about this, write something simple about the way we do 
function. If it is "the announce list", then fine, just write some 
documentation about this and put it on the website.

My point is not necessarily to change it, but to make it clear for 
users, to give them a easy access to this information. Some one who 
comes to the site should find the security alerts or where are the 
security alert in a minimal number of "mouse clicks" IMHO

cheers
