It's also hard for the developers, as we are expected to answer all those question :-) > Could the list be spliton a topic basis?

I like your idea to improve the digestability of the mailing-list traffic. But splitting up the user list would be quite atypical for a Jakarta project. As you can see here http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html the OJB users list is ranked as medium traffic (don't ask me how high traffic looks like). All other projects only have a user- and a developer-list. I don't know if users will like us if we ask them to register 7 different mailing-lists? here is my compromise: let's use simple prefixes as on most usenet groups in our mail subjects to differentiate topics. E.G.: [FAQ] [NEWBIE] [INSTALL] [EXAMPLES] [MAPPING] [SEQUENCES] [PB] [OTM] [ODMG] [JDO] [DEPLOY] [GENERAL] this will allow to use message filters to sort the incoming mails into different folders. This is also more flexible as we won't have to set up a new mailing-list for each new topic. what do you think, cheers, Thomas > > Yours, > Richard > > >>Richard Mottershead >>Senior Technical Consultant >>London Bridge Software (CRM Division) >>Wellesbourne House >>Walton Road >>Wellesbourne >>Warwickshire >>CV35 9JB >> >>+44(0) 7884 440949 (Mobile) >>+44(0) 1789 470489 (Telephone) >>+44(0) 1789 470493 (Fax) >>[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Email) >> >> > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
