On IRC discussion there seemed to be general consensus that gNewSense was ready for a gnewsense-dev mailing list, since a lot of the gnewsense-users traffic is starting to be actually user-oriented (yay users!).
Also there are several unfortunately long threads going on about the Lemote/MIPS development where instead of any list it's just a bunch of individuals cc:ed; I want to avoid this for the majority of conversations, as it's exclusionary, hard to reference, and makes it harder for new people to get involved. Would anyone have objections or alternative suggestions to the creation of [email protected]? We may also want to create something like [email protected] for discussion of only builder [1,2]; it might be useful to not have "gnewsense" in the name as builder may eventually also be used to create distributions based on Debian GNU/Linux that are modified in the same way gNewSense modifies Ubuntu GNU/Linux, and those distributions may not be named "gNewSense" to avoid user confusion. For that matter builder was originally created with the intention that it be used to create other Ubuntu derived distributions named something other than gNewSense, so that list could be used for those if they appear as well. Disadvantage of this list would be possibly too much dilution / too many mailing lists, so I would esp. like feedback on this one. Also, would people find something like Gmane [3] but hosted on gnewsense.org (perhaps as a replacement for the current forums) useful? Free Software such as mail2forum [4] provides this functionality.
