Oh. Ok, but I was using the same terms that Henrique de Moraes Holschuh used when he talked about the debian-testing mailing list and how people were wondering if that was the list to discuss testing issues from a user perspective. But the debian-user list is for Debian support, and discussing the issues of scripting versus configuration is therefore off-topic, IMHO. Maybe the CoC implicitly defines the list charter. I'll take the risk and CC Henrique and Don since Don appears to be a listmaster see what they have to say. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
