I can't guarantee that there would be any more discussion, but I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be any less. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone who is subscribed to test-more-users is also subscribed to perl-qa. In general I'm not a fan of having too many separate lists. Some people (if they are anything like me) are not going to join individual lists for every piece of software they are interested in, but they may well contribute to discussions on a more general list to which they are subscribed. > Do people not care?

We went through this process when closing down perl-qa-metrics and bringing that (minimal) traffic back here, and I think that was the right thing to do. So I suggest bringing discussion back to perl-qa and then people like me will at least read the messages which is a prerequisite to actually saying something. Though, as I say, there's no guarantee that you will get actually get any more replies. -- Paul Johnson - p...@pjcj.net http://www.pjcj.net
