For Debian development, debian-devel is the main general-purpose list that I was thinking of. debian-project may also qualify. I, personally, *don't* think the behavior on those lists is inappropriate (in the sense that we're discussing here), I was only reacting to this: > >> I think I am happier if we have our own 'quarter' where we can make it > >> absolutely clear > >> certain topics stuff are not welcome, nor tolerated and at least have > >> the expectation that we won't need to waste our time > >> explaining alternative viewpoints My point is that the kinds of topics that aren't tolerated on debian-women shouldn't be tolerated on debian-devel either, and I am very concerned that people not let debian-devel deteriorate on the grounds that debian-women is "good enough".
