Tommi explained that maemo-users was for application developers
(which
makes sense to me, very analogous to the way other framework mailing
lists work). The real end-user list would be something like
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or users of particular applications (presumably
hosted separately). So "development" discussions not pertaining to
framework/platform development should be pushed to the "users" list;
non-development issues should probably go to yet another list.
Except that maemo-users@ has become the "power-users" mailing list,
and it's hard to change the flow of a mailing list.
Why not create a maemo-appdev@ for application development and
discussion, and I think Nokia might consider a more end-user
orientated mailing list as well.
The ruleset might be, then:
- If what you're trying to do involves the platform, it's
maemo-developers@
- If what you're trying to do involves scratchbox, it's maemo-appdev@
- If what you're trying to do involves hacks on the device (such as
using xterm), it's maemo-users@
- Otherwise, it's [EMAIL PROTECTED] or whatever.
