See, but I also would like to actually see some of this stuff, without having to worry about which list my reply is supposed to go to (come on, that's just getting ludicrous) and without reading the same emails repeatedly (auto-forwarding). As I see it now, to be even the least bit informed to do things like... oh... voting for the Council, I'd have to follow multiple lists. > > [ ... ] > > Yeah, you should take that to -project or some other suitable list :P Once some consensus is made and it actually becomes policy, sure. Until then, I'm going to continue to use this list for the same things it's been used for up until now. Once we've agreed upon how the lists should be used, then I see no issue with using them that way, meaning *this* conversation does belong here, as there's been no consensus amongst our developer pool, nor a completed Council decision to change the policy. Like I said, the two proposals I had seen were: - gentoo-dev-announce - gentoo-project I hadn't seen anyone asking for both, so we've now got to figure out whether to drop one list or repurpose one of them. Personally, I'm for repurposing gentoo-dev-announce to be a global "development" announce list with no reply-to munging/filtering and developer-only posting. I think doing this would be complimentary to gentoo-project and would be useful to me, allowing me to know about conversations on other lists and allowing *me* to *choose* when I want to participate, which is a vast improvement from what we have had until now. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
