The link I have i mind is :
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Use_of_MailList
Everything is clearly explained and seems to be well accepted.
Pointing to a document foundation wiki page and claiming is well
accepted in an Apache project is not really appropriate.
Sorry, I wanted to show I was open, and when something is good, I
don't fear to recognize it is.
That being said if you think the AOOo project ought to adopt a
similar policy for its lists then lets discuss that.
What about do even better then ? :-)
Creating new email lists is simple technically, but should be
approached
with caution in terms of the effects of splitting community energy.
It is not convinced you split energy separating pure development
and what is not. There is a dynamic on ooo-dev list, in the sense
people producing code
( anything producing website or something close to code) are
active and start working together.
There is an argument to be made for providing an avenue for non-
development discussions. The problem (as I see it) with this
request is that it is for a list without a clearly defined objective.
OOO-discuss does not have a clear objective. Is it a user list? Is
it a bud discussion list? A feature request list? A policy
discussion list? Some other discuss list?
You are right, I was not enough precise, and any help to improve /
rewrite my proposal is welcome.
The problem is, the number of posts is too high for a development
list, and that's mainly why I suggested to create a new list.
This may be true. However, we have discussed list creation before
and we agreed to adopt a practice of "tagging" posts appropriately
until such a time as a single topic are was too overwhelming.
Perhaps that time has come and a second more focussed list is needed.
Yes, perhaps.
However, the place to discuss this is not OOo-private and in any
case the list will not be approved if the only justification is to
hide the "the noise we currently observe with ooo-dev mailing list"
I assume to word : noise is relative, and depends on the case. Review
a patch on ooo-marketing mailing list is not well accepted either :-)
A much more healthy reaction is to manage the OOo-dev list better
(unless you are saying we need a user list, for example).
In fact my proposal was an open door to improvement, and I expected
opinions, people who disagree and other answers .. and so on.
I'm confident somebody will have a good idea soon :-)
Regards,
Eric Bachard
