@all:
If there is somewhere else a place that should be updated (and I've
write access) please let me know.

That should help a bit I think! :)

So why wouldn't we want to shut down that list?
Why are you asking when you want to do it anyway? ;-)
Clearly I have my own opinion on this. But I'd like to understand the
counter-argument, if there is one.
OK, didn't knew this.
Real posts at d...@openoffice.org are infrequent and are not getting
responded to. But ooo-dev is clearly where the thriving dev
discussion is occurring.
Aren't these good reasons to consolidate the dev discussion in one
place? Is there any advantage to have it be fragmented across two
lists, especially if one list is mainly getting spam?
If so, it would be the same reason to shutdown also other mailing
lists. So,
we could do it will all.
I think the dev list is special, because we have an active Apache list
that has the identical purpose. The same is not true for many other
OO.org lists.
There is nothing special. For OOo we had hundreds of ML to keep the
traffic in the right channels.
Her at AOO we have only one. So all traffic (and it's more than just dev
related) into 1 ML.
For me there is no real difference.
As Mathias said, the shutdown will happen anyway. No need to force it.
We are currently missing opportunities when new volunteers post to the
other list and do not get a response. Also, existing subscribers to
the d...@openoffice.org list are missing out on the discussions we are
having regarding things like reorganizing the source repository, etc.
The goal should be to encourage existing subscribers to move over to
You have told this already. Then just write a note to dev@ooo; if
Mathias hasn't done it already. ;-)
ooo-dev. There are several ways of doing this. An announcement, like
Matthias sent, is a good thing. Maybe also update this page:
http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html
For lists that have been migrated, put instructions there on how to
subscribe to the Apache list.
Good point, let me see if I can do something. But to have a real success
we need to make this change everywhere. And IMHO this is not possible;
or at least it's a not maintainable effort.
If we delay shutting down the list until a later point, that is fine
with me. I just wanted to see if anyone thought there was a reason to
preserve the list longer-term.
OK
Marcus
