+1 on scheme #1. It's the way most other mailing lists are divided. Hiding the name in the domain is difficult to spot - I thought you were merging cosmo+scooby+chandler into one giant dev mailing list there for a minute.

Hi all,

At the moment, our mailing lists are named in a confusing fashion: we have:

'dev' -> chandler development
'cosmo' -> cosmo development
'scooby' -> scooby development

This is a historical artifact of the days when we only had one project -- and those days are long gone. So I'd like to propose that we rename the mailing lists is a way that is more indicative of their purpose. Here are two possible schemes:

1. all lists are <list>@osafoundation.org, and we prefix each list by the name of the project
dev -> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
cosmo -> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
scooby -> [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When we need end-user mailing lists (and we will):

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

[email protected] would remain the same.

2. all lists are [EMAIL PROTECTED]

dev -> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
cosmo -> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
scooby -> [EMAIL PROTECTED]

the end user lists would be:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

[email protected] would remain the same.
