Hi!

I recently did receive a mail asking me not to send so many
announcements to the list. On the one hand I think that this is a
good interjection but on the other hand it collides with the 'release
often' commandment.

I did announce the several versions of Periodic.rb not because I did
want to flood the list but because they did significantly change:

0.1 -> 0.2 did mean a transition did add multi-language support
0.2 -> 0.3 was a transition from ISO 8859-1 to UTF-8
0.4 -> 0.4 did add support for alternative spellings of element names

Is there some 'best current practice' for the frequency of
announcements?
