My concern is that this seems a little premature and potentially confusing. I.e., it forces users to triage their own questions as to whether their conversation topic is host-language-specific or not. My experience with Xapian, which has a moderate (5-10 messages a week) amount of traffic, where there are only 2 lists (-dev and -users), is that all the various language bindings are discussed on the -users list and it's not particularly distracting. Language-specific threads can actually end up being illuminating to non-users of the language. Anyway, is it a big deal to add more lists later, based on demand, rather than splitting them up in the initial proposal? -- Peter Karman . http://peknet.com/ . [email protected]
