The goal of GSOC is to embed folks in the open source community they are working in. Not to shuffle them off to some low-volume list to isolate them from the flow of mail that is dev@. (as well as commits@, issues@, and users@) For better or worse dev@ is voluminous, and GSOC folks need to learn to operate in that environment, and operate as a part of the dev community. ACSEDU might be slightly different, but I worry about fragmenting our community. Dev@ should really be where things happen. --David
