Anyone is welcome to post to either gentoo-user _or_ gentoo-dev. Ebuild questions are likely more appropriate on gentoo-dev, but if we're talking about a high volume of e-mail, it may suit gentoo-user more since that's the target audience. You'd get a better idea of consensus over there, as there are some devs who aren't subscribed to gentoo-user. It wouldn't be fair for us to form consensus for a mailing list we aren't on. Granted, some of us also hang out on -user. I'm not one of them, but I think your idea to discuss ebuilds and things over a mailing list is good. We already have an avenue for that in the forums and IRC, so the mailing list couldn't hurt. The only issue is you'd want to make sure you're getting quality answers from people who know what they're doing. There are many ways to write an ebuild, but a great majority of them are inefficient or not up to Gentoo's standards. That said, the idea has merit. Are there others who would rather not use the fora or IRC? -- Daniel Campbell - Gentoo Developer OpenPGP Key: 0x1EA055D6 @ hkp://keys.gnupg.net fpr: AE03 9064 AE00 053C 270C 1DE4 6F7A 9091 1EA0 55D6
