Hi Frank,
Well I've got to say, as a User I'd surely like to learn some new tricks
from
time to time. I believe this new mailing list would be the right place
for it.
What is happening now: my Mailbox gets full of messages, that I barely
read
(because they are just too many), most of those I have read then weren't
useful for me at all - and I guess I unintentionally deleted many
interesting
mails because of this. Surely I'm not the only one doing it this way.
in this case you've the possibility to switch into "digest mode" on the
mailing-list web-page.
Then you get only a few emails per day and you can have a look to the
headlines and read the rest if there is something interesting.
Another option might be to set up an active email filter that moves the
U-Boot mailing list messages from your inbox to a different folder.
I have my Thunderbird installation set up this way. I don't get
interrupted for U-Boot emails and I can easily scan the email subject
lines to see what I might want to read, when I have time.
I've been subscribed to the list for a few years, but I consider myself
a newbie in that U-Boot is not my main job. I found that after a while I
had a good idea of what I should look at and what I ignore. The context
of what the active developers were doing has been valuable to me. I also
have asked a few pretty basic questions on the list and have found the
responses to be generally helpful and (mostly) patient.
Jim
