Hi, With the recent announcement about commits to commons being opened up, I joined the dev@commons.apache.org list to follow the activity, for my own curiosity, and to seek out opportunities for participation and mutual interests. However, I've been a bit overwhelmed by the activity on the list, from concurrent votes for releases on sub-projects, to automated notifications from Wiki and GitHub pull requests, to ongoing discussions about switching to git, plus a myriad of other threads.
So, I was wondering a few things: 1) Is this considered normal activity for this list? 2) How do people deal with this level of activity? Does anybody have any suggestions to a newcomer / lurker? 3) Is there any interest in removing some of the automated notifications (or moving them to a notifications list)? If so, which types are ideal candidates? -- Christopher L Tubbs II http://gravatar.com/ctubbsii
