I think asking users to prefix their mails by [cactus] is going to be very
hard to enforce. First, people expect to find a forum dedicated to Cactus.
Second, there is nothing that tells them that they should [cactus] before
they send their message (one not 100% perfect solution to this would be to
create a page on the Cactus web site that explains this but I am not even
sure this will work.
One solution I can see is to have a dedicated mailing list. Maybe we should
put a guideline, like if any commons component generate more than xx mails
as average per week then we should create a dedicated mailing list for it.
A second solution (I don't know if it is technically feasible) is to create
an email alias (like [EMAIL PROTECTED]). All emails
sent to this email address will have their subjects automatically prefixed
with "[cactus]" and they will appear in the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list ? If it is possible to do
that it seems easier.
Thanks
Vincent.
