Actually I don't like the idea of having the
name of the application
itself
and not a unique keyword because it's not
easy to have filters in the
mail
client for all the names of the applications on
contrib (I cannot imagine
how I would create these filters). With a single keyword filters are
easier
to do.
Let's please decide quickly on this, because I see there is already
contrib
related activity that I am missing...
Thanks,
Anca
