>Mark Rauterkus: Can another list be formed to talk >only about the license issues? >Anthony: But then we'd have nothing to talk about here <g>. Alain: The licencing issue has indeed gotten a lot of coverage lately. This is as it should be given the importance of this sensitive issue. But : Alain: (1) It is not the only thing being discussed on our list. There is a fair amount of posts about the ongoing interpreters. BugTracker. There has been many posts in the ongoing political debate. Alain: (2) Mail Filters are quite easy to implement, particularly if the subject heading of members posts were normalized. Tomorrow, I will propose a set of subject headings and guidelines, and encourage our members to use them. It is in the best-interest of everyone. Alain: (3) The licencing issue is nearly resolved. We won't need to discuss it much longer. And it is not likely to come up often again, afterwards. Thus a mailing list for the licencing issue would most likely be useless. >Anthony: I think we should split the list, however. Alain: Perhaps, but I don't believe that it is time for that yet. There are approximately 25 messages per day. It's not that bad. And splitting up would complicate communication, particularly on issues that involve more than one sub-group. Some lists would become ghost-towns because so few people would participate in any given sub-list. >Anthony: Let's have some suggestions about >how to split it. Alain: Here's my suggestion. Let's split up our WebSpace (FTP server and corresponding Web site) instead of our mailing list. I have begun this by creating a hierarchy of folders whose root is at the same level as OpenCard and is named "OODL". _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
