Looking for suggestions there are various ideas floating around for
what can be one.
1) Junking the email and rely on people or things to subscribe to what
they are interested in
via RSS or whatever.
2) Providing ICAL feeds of downtimes at some resolution.
3) Batching up annouces in a daily report, containing.
a) Things happening today.
b) Things happening in the next week.
c) ....
The vast majority of items are not needed now,
the next morning would be fine.
The above three are probably all useful.
