And while we're at it, why have a general@apache mailing list? Something inherited from Jakarta? It's not archived or publicly visible on nabble or mail-archive.com. Users have a difficult enough time determining whether a posting should go to user@ and dev@. I see nothing that differentiates between general@ and user@.
I propose we remove the mailing list from our mailing lists page, and post a last message to general@ that we're shutting down general@ and switching existing subscribers to user@, and include instructions on how to unsubscribe from user@. That's if we want to go opt-out. Or go with opt-in, and post a last message to general@ that we're shutting down general@ and include instructions on how to subscribe to user@. Opt-in is probably the better approach. Then we ask infra to shut down the mailing list and optionally set up a redirect from general@ to user@. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@velocity.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@velocity.apache.org
