Based on the MLs description on [2], devuan-discuss is the primary
ML for requesting help and discuss about Devuan. That is wrong!
The fact is that DNG is the primary ML for such things.
devuan-discuss is not useful and causing troubles: newcomers don't
get help; community is splits into 2 groups; ML activity gives a
bad perception about Devuan project activity.
Sorry, but I don't get your point. The request you are talking about
was posted to devuan-discuss after 21:00 (CEST) on Saturday 5th
November. It is now Sunday 6th November, 14:16 CEST, so 17 long
(weekend) hours have passed since that email appeared on
devuan-discuss. Believe it or not, people might actually have
something better (or simply different) to do during the week-end
than waiting in front of their email client to address problems
found by other users.
That was an example. The same issue posted here received an answer
after less than 20 minutes,
..that's what we call Stupid Luck. The next step is "when"
170 million voters write in Bernie Sanders for POTUŜ and Jill
Stein for VP on Tuesday...
Consider it Stupid Luck if you want.
For the period between 2 May 2016 and 31 October 2016, the numbers
(roughly) are:
- on DNG ML: 145 different email addresses from 22 different time zones
have posted 3800 emails with an average of 633 emails/month
Among the 3800 emails, 258 emails were sent between Saturday 21:00 and
Sunday 14:00 (local time of the sender), i.e 7% of emails were sent
during 10% of hours you can count in a week.
- on devuan-discuss: 21 different email addresses from 11 different time
zones have posted 58 emails with an average of 8 emails/month, 4 emails
were sent between Saturday 21:00 and Sunday 14:00 (local time of the sender)
So, that was probably luck, but the chances to get a better answer and
get it sooner are higher on DNG than devuan-discuss. The information
given on the community page of the website should reflect that fact, and
not erroneously tell people to subscribe to a ML where there is almost
no activity.
