I've been quiet for a while, but I wanted to agree with this last statement. Its not about supervision in j-c, but keeping attracting new ideas and committers. I would suggest a) the j-c mailing list is very high traffic b) some newcomers/contributers are definitely being put off by this c) the ability for j-c to accept new components must eventually be limited by the one mailing list arrangement d) j-c is very well supervised e) committed coders are in charge of their components My mail system would undoutably be better off with multiple lists. But j-c may suffer. This is a dilema. It would be nice if there was a clear division into two or three that could occur, but finding it causes problems. Stephen
