As my preceding forwards indicate, we're getting some interesting
posts to d...@openoffice.org, including offers of help, but they are
not getting adequate responses. We're missing opportunities here to
grow the project.
Is there anything we can do to improve this?
1) Continue as now, and I'll forward "interesting" posts to ooo-dev?
2) Send a note to d...@openoffice.org telling them that we've moved
over to ooo-dev and inviting them to join?
It's OK for everyone who is still subscribed to that ML. But not
everyone who wants to participate is already subscribed.
3) Auto-responder for d...@openoffice.org telling them that we've moved
over to ooo-dev?
Not a good solution in the case of spam. They would get an answer, know
that it's a valid address and start mass spamming.
E.g., I'm still managing the d...@distribution.oo.o and
mirr...@distribution.oo.o ML and 99% is spam (up to 20 per day).
4) Shut down d...@openoffice.org to new posts?
No
It seems that #1 is the best way for the moment as long as the old ML
are still working. But maybe together with a note. Then the possible new
participant 1) gets an (first) answer, #2 knows that it goes on at ASF,
and #3 knows the new ML.
My 2 ct.
