gnu-prog-discuss is more suitable when you want to contact the larger GNU developer community. For example, if the people on gnu-accessibility review the available accessibility frameworks and decide to recommend and focus on improving one, then gnu-prog-discuss can be used to inform other GNU developers of their recommendation. And other developers on gnu-prog-discuss might have useful feedback on this. Or if someone wants to ask for a change in another GNU package that will affect all/most developers (example: automake), then gnu-prog-discuss is a good place to discuss the change. gnu-prog-discuss can also be used for discussing topics that might involve patent or non-disclosure agreement problems which a developer might not want to discuss on a public list. It's not a list for getting legal advice, but you might find others who've had the same problem. (For the specific case of the accessibility thread I mentioned: I saw three threads. One pre-dated the gnu-accessibility list, another was about patents/NDAs, and the third was specific to one package and got moved to that package's public list.) -- +32 485 118 029 (<-NEW), http://ciaran.compsoc.com Please help build the software patents wiki: http://en.swpat.org http://www.EndSoftwarePatents.org Donate: http://endsoftwarepatents.org/donate List: http://campaigns.fsf.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/esp-action-alert _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
