So I see a mail in my inbox, then I'd have to check the internals folder scan through the mails there to see whether the poster was allowed to post there or not and if not forward the message? I doubt that happens. I expect the "core" guy reading the mail in his inbox will press "reply to all" and kick out some parts of the mail for not quoting the full mail. The "user" will miss his mail and forward it it to the public list. So on the "core" list you get a small part from the "user's" mail as a quote, the whole thing on the user's list ... which means the discussion gives two broken threads in two mailing lists. And even when it's forwarded threading would break which makes it hard to follow discussions. We'd have to make sure to use the "user's" list as regular discussion list and only put "important" stuff on the other list, but again I guess devs would use the more "comfortable" list more and more ... Anybody knows how other big projects are handling that? LKML for instance. Are people simply more afraid of sending stuff there or is there a smart way they use for moderation? johannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
