Too much :) > How much for the Debian mailing lists? One hour up to a few hours per day. > How many lists do you follow, and which ones do you pay real attention to? I've lost count, really. 20? That's about the number of Debian lists I'm subscribed to, I think, and there are a number of non-Debian lists I subscribe to as well. The ones I pay real attention to changes from time to time, depending on what is being written there. Currently, they are: * -devel-announce * -68k * -private * -curiosa * -devel * -vote :) and, to a lesser extent, * -project * -newmaint * -arm > Have you stopped following a Debian mailing list in the past, and if so, > what was the most important/common reason for that? Usually, because the total volume of mail that I received was getting too high, requiring me to skip interesting mails. > Could you describe an indicative example or two where you formed > a distinctly positive or a distinctly negative opinion about a person based > on what they wrote in a non-trivial flamewar^Wdiscussion? (There is no need > to name anyone, just describe the situation as you feel is appropriate.) Not really. I don't easily judge people by what they write on mailinglists. I think this is one of my strengths; you can flame me today, and I've probably already forgotten by tomorrow. Well---Let's say by next week. > What's your opinion on what it's like for others to be reading our > mailing lists? Feel free to be vague here :) I do feel that often, people use wording which might offend, or shock. Personally, I don't easily feel offended, but that doesn't mean I think such wording should be allowed. This is, in fact, one of the things I do want to work on. > In general, what's your opinion about the quality of communication in > the project? Freely elaborate this last part :) It could be much better. We don't do too bad when we agree, or when a few issues need to be fleshed out; but when we have opposing opinions, it doesn't work so well.
