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.
I can go either way and I think Karl said he could too, so unless anyone
has any major objections, I guess we can go with a users mailing list.
This then raises another question. I assume that they move the mailing
list archives and subscriber list from the old list to the new
list...should the felix-dev archive and its subscribers move to dev or
users ?
Archives should go to the dev list, users@ would be a new list. As to
subscribers, we could do either - new list, no subscribers, or subscribe
all current subscribers to this new list.
I'd probably go with the second - subscribing all dev subscribers to
users@, and giving folks the option to unsub as required.
