Hi.

In the discussion that started about RDF, it seems that the
traffic volume is a stumbling block.
[For some time now, it has been a growing nuisance, and the
usual dismissal about filters won't change the fact: Setting
up a filter that will redirect stuff to /dev/null is a waste
of bandwidth.]

If different ML are created, people interested in everything
can subscribe _once_, and nothing will change for them.
For people who spend a lot of time just deleting dozens messages
and notifications a day, it will be a relief.

Maintaining community conversation is not a problem: just
create an "all-...@commons.apache.org" ML for things that
need input form a larger audience (like votes).


Personally I don't care. I have filters set up and if we would do the much,
I'd simply subscribe to all MLs.
I agree that it seems to be a problem for some that the ML has so much
traffic. So we should think about this.

There are two questions for me:

- What about commits@ and issues@? Do we simply route commits and issues to
the component MLs or do we want to have separate commit MLs on a per
component basis?
- How do we want to manage the transition? I think the process we choose for the git migration is a good one. If a component decides it needs a separate ML, they can simply request one. All other components simply stay
on dev@ For example I don't see much value in creating a
primit...@comons.apache.org ML, simply because there is so low activity
right now.

Components with enough activity to sustain separate lists should be
moving to a TLP.

So this is again an issue with an "all or nothing" solution?


Gilles
