[Vserver] Mailing List Future ...

hmm, I'd like to ask _all_ current members of this
list, about their opinion, but first a few words
in general ...


 a) Linux-VServer has gained some popularity, for
example try with 'vserver' and I'm Feeling Lucky

 b) the mailing list is almost unused (by the list
member) probably because of the good support
on the irc channel ...

 c) lkml the kernel mailing list is an open mailing
list very similar to the vserver mailing list,
and naturally receives about the same amount
of spam ...

 d) you know that I'd really prefer to keep the
linux-vserver list open too, but, if the current
community decides to make it a subscription 
only list, then we'll do that ...

lkml spam for today ...

so, I've complained a hundred times about the spam,
but there is only so much you can do about it, and
that's what we should focus on ...

if you think you can provide a better info/spam ratio 
than the current list does, feel free to jump in and
manage the linux-vserver mailing list, martin does
that for us now, and I'm glad that I do not have to
maintain it myself ...

if you think you can't handle one or two spam mails
each day, and/or just want to complain about it, 
please go ahead, but don't expect anything to change.

on the other hand, if you want to help here, then
complaining about the spam is the wrong approach, 
either add your own spam filter, and propagate the
rules/wordlists to the ml maintainer (as is done on
lkml) or volunteer as 24/7 human spam filter, or
make some other useful suggestion ...

so, now the questions I'd like to get answered:

 1) do we want an open mailing list (like lkml) 
instead of a closed (subscription only) list

 2) do we want martin to maintain and further 
improve the existing solution

 3) are we able to tolerate/ignore the unavoidable
spam every day/week/month

 4) do we want the mailing list to become a medium
of communication and cooperation for linux
vserver

and my answers to those questions are:
 1) YES, 2) YES, 3) YES, 4) YES 

please let me know what you think, so that we can
take appropriate steps ...

 ... this includes David and Thomas ...


TIA,
Herbert

Hi there ...

First of all. Herbert, I'm sorry. I should have written more than the few
lines I wrote to declare my request. I try to unsubscribe from the list
since, I don't know, several weeks. It is not because of some spam-mails,
currently I just do not have the time to read the list itself.

I just took Davids Mail to ask for beeing unsubscribed as the list
management seems not to be repaired.

I'm sorry,
Thomas

sounds interesting ... unfortunately we haven't heard

maybe you could visit us on the channel, and/or let

 I want to say, that I tyered mostly not of the spam,
 but of ppl those post stupid comments about.
 Like i don't want this shit, etc.
 
 Every interested in vserver person imho could skip those
 JUST one or sometimes two spam messages. As for me it's
 not a problem. I think Martin doing his job very well! Thanks!
 
 So my answers would be:
 1. YES

i would not call me a member since i just read along but nevertheless 
here's my opinion:

 1) do we want an open mailing list (like lkml) 
instead of a closed (subscription only) list
yes, allthough i think that it's not that important. i guess most people 
will study the website and subscribe (or decide it's not vserver they 
were looking for).
however the current spam-level is really acceptable (at least for me) 
and i prefer an open list as long as this doesn't change dramatically.

 2) do we want martin to maintain and further 
improve the existing solution
yes!
 3) are we able to tolerate/ignore the unavoidable
spam every day/week/month
yes.
 4) do we want the mailing list to become a medium
of communication and cooperation for linux
vserver
yes. i don't participate in the development but reading the mailinglist 
(and the archives) helped a lot to setup a test-vserver. i don't follow 
irc -- so i'd naturally prefer to read the discussions on the list.

best regards,
Henrik

I am happy with either solution.

  2) do we want martin to maintain and further

Yes.  The unsubscribe does need fixed if it's broken.

  3) are we able to tolerate/ignore the unavoidable
 spam every day/week/month

The spam is so little, and if you use any type of filtering/threading/
tagging in your client it easy to maintain

  4) do we want the mailing list to become a medium
 of communication and cooperation for linux
 vserver

Yes, I think it has been in the past, is, and continue to be more so.

Herbert, thanks for all your time and work put into linux vserver.  I
appreciate it greatly.

YES, although this might be argued by some, i think people should not be
forced to subscribe, that could keep some people from reporting
bugs/problems as they are just interested in solving their problem, but
don't want to get all the other stuff.

 
  2) do we want martin to maintain and further 
 improve the existing solution

YES, he's doing a good job.

 
  3) are we able to tolerate/ignore the unavoidable

YES, this ml causes less than 1% of the spam i receive daily...

  4) do we want the mailing list to become a medium
 of communication and cooperation for linux
 vserver

If I think about it, i'd even like to see more stuff discussed on IRC
appear on the ml. IMHO scanning IRC logs is sometimes a little annoying,
cause related information may be spread all over the place. But making
the information available on the ml when the discussion is over, is
probably even more annoying ;-)

RE: [Vserver] Mailing List Future ...

2004-06-21 Thread Matthew Nuzum

 so, now the questions I'd like to get answered:
 
  1) do we want an open mailing list (like lkml)
 instead of a closed (subscription only) list

I subscribe and so does everyone who got this message (since you sent it to
the list) so I suspect this will not have much impact on us who are using
the list now.  All of the big lists I participate in require subscription.
The vserver list is relatively low traffic so why not subscribe? If people
are concerned, a wiki page can be created that explains how to subscribe in
digest mode if they prefer it (and if it's available)

My vote is to go ahead and make it a closed subscription

 
  2) do we want martin to maintain and further
 improve the existing solution
 

Martin is doing a fine job.  Martin, just so you know, being a mailing list
administrator is apparently like being the sound guy in a performance...
no one even knows you're there unless there's a problem.  Keep up the good
work.

 3) are we able to tolerate/ignore the unavoidable
 spam every day/week/month
 

The SPAM level is low and certainly tolerable.  Please, folks, if we decide
to keep the list open, just ignore the spam and don't reply to it.

 4) do we want the mailing list to become a medium
 of communication and cooperation for linux
 vserver
 

Yes, of course.  It is archived and readily accessible using Google.  There
is no better medium than this for finding help.
