Hi everyone, I think that we have recently reached critical mass for the openstack-dev mailing-list, with 2267 messages posted in October, and November well on its way to pass 2000 again. Some of those are just off-topic (and I've been regularly fighting against them) but most of them are just about us covering an ever-increasing scope, stretching the definition of what we include in "openstack development".
Therefore I'd like to propose a split between two lists: *openstack-dev*: Discussions on future development for OpenStack official projects *stackforge-dev*: Discussions on development for stackforge-hosted projects Non-official "OpenStack-related" projects would get discussed in stackforge-dev (or any other list of their preference), while openstack-dev would be focused on openstack official programs (including incubated & integrated projects). That means discussion about Solum, Mistral, Congress or Murano (stackforge/* repos in gerrit) would now live on stackforge-dev. Discussions about Glance, TripleO or Oslo libraries (openstack*/* repos on gerrit) would happen on openstack-dev. This will allow easier filtering and prioritization; OpenStack developers interested in tracking promising stackforge projects would subscribe to both lists. That will not solve all issues. We should also collectively make sure that *usage questions are re-routed* to the openstack general mailing-list, where they belong. Too many people still answer off-topic questions here on openstack-dev, which encourages people to be off-topic in the future (traffic on the openstack general ML has been mostly stable, with only 868 posts in October). With those actions, I hope that traffic on openstack-dev would drop back to the 1000-1500 range, which would be more manageable for everyone. Thoughts ? -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
