Well I don't want to be all that negative because it isn't my server and I'm not joining the list, so I have little reason to care. If you're looking for reasons why the list isn't useful though, sure: This will eventually, if not immediately, be a dead list. Few people want to work on all activities. Activities often do not share much in common. For developer D1 who likes to hack on activity A1, emails about activity A2 are noise. Generally, the expertise will be elsewhere. If I need to discuss programming the camera, where does it make sense for me to go? Certainly an activity mailing list is not the place. If the list were moderated, to be used ONLY for announcements of things that break the API/ABI, then there could be some value. In that case, you'd need to split up Python and non-Python. Like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] There could also be a list to announce new activities. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
