What traffic would you prefer the dev@ list to have? I certainly didn't imagine the dev@ would have the "Reading Circle" thread(s), but it's good that the readership actually /have/ that forum for that discussion. (Bias disclaimer: I am very interested in the reading circle thread.) You should open discussion on a topic you /do/ want to see on dev@. It is open to any linux development topics, so send your questions, comments, revelations, doh!s or most recent cool hack on over :-) | ... should we have a reading circle list? If the majority of the dev@ readership expresses similar feelings, I'd accept the discussion being split off, maybe at groups.yahoo or some other non-trilug service. Certainly, if the reading group discussion becomes off-topic for linux development, then it is by association OT from a linux LUG. I hoped that the readership of dev@ would be on-the-whole interested, since it should really be a free-for-all- development-applicable-to-linux list, IMO, and good design is a totally desirable skill for a linux developer to have. If you don't like the current traffic, change it by sending your questions, comments, revelations. &c. to that list. I /will/ fight to keep the dev@ list open to almost any development discussion, and I think forcing the reading group discussion off would be a bad precedent to set. In fact, I hope the reading group can do something to share its adventures with the list members who don't come out to the meetings. cheers. brent -- "Develop your talent, man, and leave the world something.
