[+1] One mother general@ list, with specific breakouts when needed
  [-1] Per-concept mailing lists (define "concept" however)
  [-1] Per-language mailing lists

i'm bothered by the 'i don't want to see what the <other-foo> people
are working on' syndrome i've seen some people express here.  well,
maybe you aren't -- so filter it out.  *they* may want to see *yours*.
and before someone says 'then let them subscribe to the <my-foo> list',
i'll say that's bogus.  they need to know a) that the list exists, and
b) that there might be stuff that's useful/instructive to them on it.

i want to see us practise inclusion by default, not exclusion.

maybe the language constructs in java may not be useful to c people --
but the algorithms and concepts may be.
