Creating new mailing lists divides communities and should therefore be done with caution.
This community was, until recently, extremely quiet. I'm open to the idea of another list, but I want to see that it will have the right effect, and not unnecessarily divide an already small community. Really, the mission that the ASF has taken on is that of the development of WIAB. All other goals are more amorphous, and it will take time to see what shape they will take and how they might fit here. If folks want it, can we start by using message subjects, eg [DEV] or [GENERAL] as subject prefixes?
