The trick is defining what "keeping up" means for you. I doubt anyone reads everything. I certainly don't. First, I filter all of openstack-dev into its own folder. I'm sure others filter more aggressively based on topic, but I don't since I know I may be interested in threads in any of the topics. Figure out what filtering works for you. I scan subjects for the threads I'd probably be most interested in. While I'm scanning, I'm first looking for topic tags, like [Nova], then I read the subject and decide whether I want to dive in and read the rest. It happens very quickly, but that's roughly my thought process. With whatever is left over: mark all as read. :-) -- Russell Bryant _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
