I think it is fine. The issues raised on the mailing list are very
much to the point and actually relevant to org-mode.

The only discussions I skip are the ones where there's a long
discussion of some at the moment ephemeral feature (like task
dependencies/triggers).

 P.S. I know that this will lead to even more messages in the next
 few days, but it is for a good cause :-)

This is actually great news. The community of org mode is almost as
active as emacs-devel ;)

Hi,

I like the mailing list being so active. The whole org-stuff is plain fun at 
work and at home.
I've never been organized as easy as today - which doesn't mean I do not have 
some important needs left...

I just subscribed to this list (thus posting a followup to Nuuttis
post).  20 mails a day sound pretty OK to me.  Using Gnus makes
handling of this easy :-)

Best Regards

Agreed.  I do fall behind on reading it every now and then but I always 
try and catch up because the quality of discussions is so high.  I like 
having such a receptive community.

Agreed too. Sometimes my eyes glaze over the GTD threads, but I can
always mute the threads I'm not interested in. Perhaps an additional
low volume org-mode-announce list would be a good idea for those more
interested in product than process...

Cheers

To be honest I think we're still too small to justify the overhead of 
another list.  When we're touching on having 100s of posts a day, maybe.

Absolutely not. FYI, I find the increased traffic a little reassuring
that there are others using the software.  I already feel lonely in
office using Emacs :-)
