Agreed, and I think this is also an excellent example that these things
have a use case and can work while keeping it all very simple. I've
looked at it, and it seems to have roughly the same approach; Give a
short description, defer to someplace else for the actual work.

I'm not sure the opensuse site has anything additional to add to HW at
this stage, as HW (apart from the design difference) has the same features.

We might wanna revamp the front page of HW of course, I'll look into that.

With regards,
Daniel.

Right. As a minor difference, I see that the may the tasks are listed
is minimal - just a title and then point to the Github issues. But they
do have the advantage of supporting a single issue tracker.

Re: I want to subscribe to mailing lists

[Shyam Sarkar]

Hello,

I subscribed to both Spark-user and Spark-dev with confirmation replies.
So far I did not get any e-mails from any users/contributor(s).
I am curious if the e-mails are going somewhere else or will come  to my
gmail address ssarkarayushnet...@gmail.com .

Thanks,
S. Sarkar

Re: I want to subscribe to mailing lists

They will come to the address which you used to send the subscribe 
requests. I think the automated response tells you the address it is using.


Did you follow the directions in the automated reply to the subscribe 
message and confirm your request to subscribe?

I envision this being used more at the foundation level to help people find
their way to opportunities, than as a project level ticket tracker.

 Hi. This is the qmail-send program at apache.org.
 I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
 addresses.
 This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

 :
 Must be sent from an @apache.org address or a subscriber address or an
