Hi, Initially, I was convinced, too, that a users@ list would not be needed given the current volume.
On the other hand, and as Niclas pointed out, more and more questions are more like users@ questions than dev@ questions. Additionally, I tend to see a somewhat psychological aspect of having a users@ list: Maybe it is better for community building to have a low-barrier users@ list in addition to the dev@ list. Therefore, I now agree with Niclas, that we probably need a users@ list. Just my €.02 Regards Felix On 4/19/07, Niclas Hedhman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Just look at the last 10 threads on the current list (this one excluded); -1. Felix/OSGi and JADE Second Part -> users@ -2. bundle with felix.auto.start.2 are not starting -> users@ -3. new release -> dev@ -4. Bundle symbolic name not unique? -> users@ -5. Bundle repository -> users@ -6. [jira] Created: (FELIX-270) iPOJO Composition & Arch improve... -> dev@ -7. Launching/Embedding docs -> both -8. JADE and OSGI integration -> users@ -9. 101.6.4 of R4.1? Service Compendium -> dev@ -10. Felix TLP migration -> dev@ 5 exclusive users@ list threads, 4 dev@ ones. On top of that, it is likely (although not very strong argument) that Felix will get a lot more traction once visible as TLP, and even more so with a 1.0 release out. That means more Jira issues, that most users don't want to see, et cetera. Cheers Niclas
