The heavy development discussions may be scaring people off. Is it time to split the list into development and questions tracks?
Proposed options (revise and amend as necessary):
1. No. It's too early to tell.
This would be my suggestion.
2. Yes.
a. Move the help/questions to some other list. Perhaps poe-questions.
b. Move the development/design discussions to some other list. Perhaps poe-dev.
c. Split into two separate lists and retire the base one. Perhaps poe-dev and poe-questions.
As you stated, dead lists are a pain.
Of the options so far, my preference is 1. Forking the list into multiple tracks is easy, but deprecating dead ones is hard.
I think option 2c sucks mightily, but I wanted to present it for completeness. Ideas that I post are not automatically good.
As im new to this list, i scanned the first 1000 or so headers trying to make myself a psuedo-Doc of POE. In that scanning i didnt find the topics to be too heavily swayed in 1 direction (or perhaps they were all swayed one way! :). In either case, i'de say stick with this until theres a bigger reason to change.
