My 2 cents... The traffic on the list is less than 100 messages per day, of that about 35% is bug notifications. I wonder if we redirect the "developer" oriented email on the list whether we will have 10 messages a day on the original openstack mailing list.
Stefano, can you elaborate on why the developers feel a split is necessary at this point? Most (if not all) of the traffic is developer oriented, what is the problem we want to solve?

There is also a concern that putting developers in another list will decrease their attention to the bigger part of the community. I believe this is a serious concern and that it's going to be our role as leaders of this community to prevent this from happening. I'd suggest to dedicate the existing mailing list for discussions about usage of OpenStack (deployment and development of applications on top of OpenStack API) and create a new one only for developers of OpenStack. "Developers" in this context should be developers of openstack projects (nova, swift, quantum, etc). If there is no opposition to this proposal in the next days, I'll proceed and create openstack-dev and invite developers to subscribe to it. cheers, stef _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
