Re: No dev-, user- lists for small podlings (was: Re: [PROPOSAL] Kitty to Enter the Incubator)

 Isis mentors:
Given we're in the same situation and are still being bootstrapped, 
should we follow this advice, ie start off with a combined mailing list 
for -dev and -user?

Is there a large user community already? If not, then splitting the
community across dev/user does not make sense. You want to keep the users
and developers on the same mailing list until one starts to overwhelm the
other. By partitioning the lists too early, you risk never reaching
"critical mass" on *either* mailing list.
This is actually great advice, and I wish we'd done this with a couple
of podlings that are currently too small to graduate.

In retrospect empire-db and etch really could have done without the
user- list IMO.
