I just would like to add that nowadays StackOverflow is certainly a better place to ask simple questions, so we (FreeMarker (Incubating)) for example encourage users to put their questions there (and we don't have a user list). A mailing list is sinply an outdatged medium for that purpose. Of course, for longer discussions like feature requests, we encourage subscribing to the dev list or use Jira. > However if a podling is convinced that they need a user list I think > that's perfectly fine. -- Thanks, Daniel Dekany --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
