Just for the records: I'm "in favor" of the merge, not against... Or
have I missunderstood the post I replied to? Never mind. :)
Yup, it's the developers who are posting on a regular basis who feel
the pain of the two different lists. It's the people who are actively
replying to issues, dealing with problems, and trying to keep track of
it all who want the lists merged. That said, I personally don't feel
any guilt in inconveniencing a few users who are not contributing if
it makes it easier for the people who contribute to the list on a
daily basis.
I'm a "user-only" of my PVR150/350 since about 2 years and I read
these lists (ivtv-devel, ivtv-users, video4linux, and now linux-media)
because I want to stay in touch with the really good work you developers
are doing (also a "Thank you" from my wife, who loves our VDR). And I
want to know when some of the issues I encounter are solved, so I can
update my kernel. Sadly I haven't the time to invest my
development-knowledge into linux-driver-development (my daily work is
application-development, and yes, it's windows, shame on me ;-)).
So, if the lists get merged or not, I still will be reading them. I
just want to give a view from a passive reader. And from that point of
view a merge would be fine...
But I agree that the main developers should be the ones that have the
final stay on this.
Lars.
