Hi all,

I've been reading the different threads where this issue has been discussed.

First, I'd like to say from Commons RDF we do not want to open the discussion of sub-project. We all are quite experienced at the ASF to know how bad that could be. And we are happy to be a regular component. In fact, if we do the things well and we come up with a agreed and useful API, in terms of code there will not so much activity for that component. But there will me much more in terms of discussion. That's why a TLP does make any sense for me.

Asking a dedicated mailing list we simply wanted a less noisy channel of communication, from form RDF to All, and from All to RDF. I've subscribed to dev@commons.a.o in our first attempt to join the project (July 2014), and I have to admit the single list is a bit difficult for following some discussion; not about those components where I already have a filter on my mail client and I follow, but for those where an interesting topics jumps in from time to time. And many other new people could have

Even though, I understand the positions against separated mailing lists. So I propose to carry an experiment during the journey through sandbox of the RDF component:

* create a new dev-rdf@commons.a.o mailing list
* all posts will be distributed to dev@commons.a.o with the [RDF] prefix
* Reply-To header will be always set to the original mailing list

We still need to ask INFRA if such setup would be even possible... but I think is worth to give it a try. What do you think? Could that work?

Thanks for all the constructive discussions.

Cheers,

Hi all,

following up the discussion at [1] the folks from git github commons RDF
project [2] would like to join the Apache Commons Project, but they ask us
to create a separate mailing list for this component. Gilles has already
brought up this topic [3] and my feeling is, that we in general don't want
to create separate mailing lists for components.
Now the question is: do we want to make an exception for the Commons RDF
project?

Regards,
Benedikt
