Concerning [Math], when the possibility was raised, the majority

I'm stating again the fact that nobody is involved in a "Commons"
project programming-wise; hence it does not make sense, in
principle,
to have to share the programming discussions on the same ML.
The conclusion you derive from the fact is only an opinion though.
Maybe it does make sense for others to hear what's going on in Math?
...and be it just for the board reports?
Was it mentioned that anybody would be forbidden to subscribe to any
ML they see fit?
The name of the list is what defines the broad subject of discussion:
discussing the develoment of Commons Math is done on
math-dev@commons...
I'm afraid that people find this so strange... :-{
If it did, all the Apache (programming) project could as well share
the same list. [We'd just have to set up filters, wouldn't we?]
That comparison is pretty flawed as those projects are not tiny
components.
I'm not talking about the size of components, but the size of the
ML traffic.
I've never a great fan of umbrellas but the components are so small -
I don't see another option. The thought of components to go TLP feels
just plain silly to me. Hence it would be great to work together as a
community that takes care of those components.
The idea of "Commons Math" being a component is silly, but we can
accept
silly things that result from history (and consider the practical
advantages, as I noted elsewhere).
While from a practical standpoint (if everyone filters anyway) you
might be right, my guess is that a community with many list will not
have the same feeling of affiliation.
If it depends on the name of the list, I guess that the "sense of
community" is not very developed...
