Scales over projects and languages. I proposed such a layout a while ago. If we exchange names in there (foo-help instead of foo-users or foo-project as default instead of foo) does not matter too much. From the technical side this is a no-brainer. I just need an overall layout i can follow. Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, Core Services Rules change.

This one will probably be used default by most users. added to the new template (see other thread) that advetise only this list (suse-linux-e for the moment, but we may change that at will), most post should go there. and if anybody go there and need an other list, people should say it to him. Henne, sorry to stole the thread, but, I'm fairly sure you will read this, and it's for you. Writting the template I notice that to unsubscribe, one must look at the headers. why not give directly the link in the mail footer? advertising that it's easy to unsubscribe may make people join. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For many mailing lists the address name-help@ is used to automatically send a short help with instructions on how to use the mailing list software and/or a short FAQ to a user. For instance, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is such an address. Thus, IMO there should be no actual list with that name, that's again misleading (at least for people having some experiences with mailing lists). Two additional comments on some related subjects: a) I can understand Randall's arguments and I think he's technically correct. I won't comment on the tone of the whole discussion. b) I don't think that renaming etc. or removing this list will solve all problems. There should be a list where users can ask all general questions about openSUSE, whether these questions are about the project or whatever. Most people with general questions do not subscribe to all the different mailing lists. This is a fact. In Principle, I can't see a problem with some technical questions here; the useless discussions, flames, and all the unnecessary blabla are much more annoying than technical questions.
