I agree with Phil. And I don't buy that more people would get involved if they didn't see the commit messages. How can they be properly involved if they're not watching what's happening to the code and the issues? -- Martin Cooper
It also allows people to choose not only what they receive, but how. > Email isn't the only way to 'subscribe' to the lists, you can also get > the Atom feed from the ASF mail archives, or use a forum interface > like Nabble. > > (I'd keep dev@ for discussion only, and send wiki diffs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > While we're on the subject, will there be CI server notifications?) > Probably yet another little list, if we chase this to logical conclusion. One problem that I have with splitting things is that Jira comments *are* discussion, as are commit log messages and responses to these, etc. I don't like the idea of splitting these. As far as the arguments about getting new contributors in, I would like to hear from them.
