- Do I understand correctly, that the best situation for you would be a number
- of ca. 75-100 regular subscribers, but not thousands of them?
-
- Then how about this: In your standard README on your disk you simply
- publish the current number of subscribers. If there are still too few, then
- you simply add a short comment like "need more". Thus everyone would be
- informed whether they should contact you directly.
