But I would separates commits@ from notifications@ I made similar suggestions but it appears flood has swept away the key points. -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Hartman [mailto:hartman.nat...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 25, 2019 7:16 AM To: dev@nuttx.apache.org Subject: Re: User Email Account On Wed, Dec 25, 2019 at 9:34 AM Gregory Nutt <spudan...@gmail.com> wrote: > > There have been quite a few NuttX users who have been put of by the > volume and content of emails on this list.

It's good that we have a lot of participation but we did get quite a few complaints about volume. Perhaps an arrangement like this would allow people to take control of the situation: * dev@nuttx.apache.org: For development of NuttX itself, including organizational discussions. * u...@nuttx.apache.org: For users of NuttX, who are usually developers themselves, but they're downstream developers who use NuttX in other products. * notificati...@nuttx.apache.org: For all notifications from GitHub, GitBox, Confluence, Jira, etc., etc., etc. (By the way, I expect that once the dust settles, we have consensus on a workflow, and we "find our groove," the volume of organizational emails should drop substantially and most emails on dev will center around technical discussions once again. But it might take a while...) Thoughts? Nathan
