I don't think that a [FAQ] tag solves the problem we're trying to address here. which, as far as I understand it, is that this list is likely to see a lot of threads that may ultimately hamper the work we're trying to accomplish
in a sense, we *want* to bifurcate the community. i.e., we want to be able to say "this isn't an appropriate thread for this list, please take it to diversity-meta@" and be quite firm about shunting that stuff off we need to prioritize maintaining an (emotionally) safe and stress-free environment on this list (diversity@). and I can't over-emphasize how much we put that at risk if we allow meta discussion to take place here On Mon, 13 May 2019 at 19:50, Ross Gardler <ross.gard...@microsoft.com.invalid> wrote: > +1 to not another list, use subject tag "[FAQ]" > > ________________________________ > From: Bertrand Delacretaz <bdelacre...@apache.org> > Sent: Monday, May 13, 2019 10:30 AM > To: diversity@apache.org > Subject: Re: FAQ and education mailing list > > Hi, > > On Sat, May 11, 2019 at 5:19 PM Patricia Shanahan <p...@acm.org> wrote: > > ...I don't want my FAQ-collection effort to get in the way of getting > > things done on diversity@.
