Hi Ismaël, Yep, I think it's a little bit noisy for our mailing list with such notifications. But it's fun to see what other people are working on. IMHO, in addition to a new mailing list, we should have a better label mechanism for easily routing/filtering messages. Thank you. On

Thanks Andy for pointing this out. It is important that we are more responsive to contributors. I have my good dose of mea culpa on this recently but please do not forget that even if Avro is a crucial piece of the Big Data ecosystem, at this point there is not a single person up to my knowledge

If we'd like an alternative to the dev@avro mailing list, there is a growing amount of infra support for using slack. in particular there is a bot for making sure you can send stuff to a mailing list for those who want a record. Andy, what kind of response would you see as proper? Is your concern
