Hi Tim,
Actually, you got to the crux of my question.
You seem to suggest that -devel is for the actual developers of the
Virtuoso code, not those who are doing development with Virtuoso or
extending it. In other words, if it doesn't go into CVS it does not
belong in -devel (e.g., "working on" v. "working with"). Is my
interpretation correct?
Well, if it touches on virtuoso's sources, ie belongs in CVS, then -devel
is likely the best place, yes.
Actually::
-- I would prefer -devel to be for any developments or extensions using
Virtuoso and its cousins (both "working on" AND "working with" the code,
but not simply using).
This has potential. We can work with this, and if it becomes a distraction
later, create a new list at a later date.
-- I agree with your -users distinctions: use questions, applications,
documentation, questions about functionality, installation, deployment,
problems (but not yet diagnosed bugs), etc.
-- I would then suggest that the Tracker be the preferred medium for
bugs and feature requests, since those provide true tracking systems.
Yes, particularly for handling larger diffs. We have size limits on both
lists (slightly larger for -devel, but not much), so Tracker can be useful too.
HTH,
