[DISCUSS] Send Github new comment notifications to the dev list

2013-03-15 Thread Noah Slater
Hello devs, In an attempt to rescue the last thread I started, I am separating out a discussion item. I propose that we send Github new comment notifications to the dev list. These would be triggered every time somebody comments on a pull request that is made against the apache/couchdb repository

I agree Benoit. This sounds like a better workflow for the project. All I am saying is that if people want to use Github anyway, I don't think we can stop them. And I don't think we should try. I think we should be making it as easy to contribute to CouchDB as possible, and that includes Github.

I think one or both of us is misunderstanding the other. First I'll stop and write up my internal understanding of the current policy so that we can hopefully compare notes more directly. First, the ASF has a pretty specific policy on using the project mailing lists to coordinate project activity

this thread is quite ignoring the current discussion on another thread though. The question is are we trying to hack around the problem or solve it? I'm -0 on that for that reason. - benoît On Fri, Mar 15, 2013 at 6:01 PM, Jan Lehnardt wrote: > +1 > > On 16.03.2013, at 00:47, Paul Davis wrote:

Sure thing. :) Unfortunately, closing PRs means closing Github. (That's the only way you could do it.) Though, if was reasonably certain that the rest of your message was hinting at the same idea... :) On 16 March 2013 00:56, Benoit Chesneau wrote: > On Fri, Mar 15, 2013 at 4:46 PM, Noah Slater
