Here's a quick way to know which one to post to:
pylons-devel
- Discussion about development of pylons project libraries such as
pylons/pyramid/etc.
pylons-discuss
- General discussion about best practices of development, asking for help,
etc.
How about just merging the lists?
Is there really so much volume as to justify two lists?
Having a -devel and -discuss list always feels like elitism to me, in that
the people who can actually help hang out on -devel, and the people who need
it on -discuss :-S
That sounds more like a prejudice than anything that's happening on
the lists.
Well, what has been happening, certainly from a (relatively) innocent
bystanders point of view is that it's all been on -devel up until now.
The two lists are meant to be a convenience for users,
users, or developers?
so that those
who don't care about minor/theoretical development discussions and
trivial "This page on the website doesn't work"
Surely that actually belongs on -devel? (or would you advocate a third
-website list ;-) )
change the version number in this place" can skip it. All the
developers are on the -discuss list and answer questions there.
As a user and part time developer, I wasn't even aware of the -discuss
list until this discussion came up!
We did take usage questions on -devel in the alpha days of Pyramid, to
prevent Pyramid questions from confusing Pylons users. That's where
all the confusion between the lists came from. That's over now.
Really? ;-)
