Tt is a convention at Apache for the main list of a project to be a "dev" list and for it to cover more than just coding. But we could decide to make a different convention if we think it would be less confusing to our community. To me "general" means a general project list, not specifically dev, or qa or marketing, but all of these functions. I don't have a strong preference for one naming scheme over another, but it would be good to be consistent. If we go with "project" then maybe we rename ooo-dev to proj...@openoffice.apache.org at graduation? -Rob > Anyway it's clear that neither of ooo-general-it and ooo-project-it would be > a final list name, since the "ooo" acronym will much likely disappear upon > graduation.
