Nick, nobody said LinkedIn is going to be the *main place* for 
announcements. That would be, as you said, a bad idea. I doubt we will have 
any serious discussion there that can't be available on our news server. 
However, based from my LinkedIn experience with other FLOSS groups, it is 
very much possible that, for an example, job-announcements by some of the 
future recruiters, are going to be posted on LinkedIn only. You will not 
expect someone from a recruiting agency to go through various newsgroups and 
post announcements, do you? :) - I certainly would not.
