I have messages from all Openmoko mailing lists filtered into a single mailbox, so I hadn't noticed the distinction between community & device-owners. Reading your comments I think this might be a really good distinction to keep and I'm inclined to set up separate mail folders for the Openmoko lists. I think the result would be a concentration of more interesting posts. Perhaps regulars could become more militant about replying "this should be on -community" and "replying to the correct list, -device- owners"? Sean - you say in your post of 8 July 2008 14:27:41 BST that you're inclined to remove 'device-owners'. Can I ask you to consider a while longer, please? We're talking about circa 100 messages per day, so it might be best not to be too hasty. Maybe you could simply combine 'openmoko-devel' and 'distro-devel' into a single 'devel' list for the present and revisit the community & device-owners decision after some more discussion, perhaps waiting a few weeks?
