Hi,

The [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
has been setup and working for some time now.

I'm wondering if we should begin to use it (soon or not
at all).
We would use it for linux-usb development/test and continue
to use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for user questions/help/issues.


This may or may not work out.  I say this for at least
3 reasons:

1.  Many of us may need to remain posted to both of these
mailing lists, so the only outcomes the split are (a) having
2 mail-list addresses to use and (b) being able to split
them up if desired (or maybe merge them if desired).

2.  It may confuse linux-usb users and cause cross-posting,
which I would like to avoid.

3.  linux-kernel issues have various other mailing lists, like
linux-usb, linux-scsi, linux-mm, linux-fsdevel, acpi, etc.
However, lots of messages are duplicated (cross-posted) on
these lists, so my personal experience says that the usage of
the separate lists is not as as good as expected (at least not
as good as I expected it to be).


Now that I've written this down, I'm leaning towards _not_
splitting the linux-usb mailing list (and removing the
linux-usb-devel list at sourceforge.net).

Of course, I say this without having a 2.4 release yet,
so we haven't really got into a large amount of
users and user issues/problems.  When that happens, I may
change my mind.

Comments?

Thanks,
Randy
