Another option would be to use the list of openmoko just like all other distro
users are doing (commun...@lists.openmoko.org). By putting [SHR], [Debian] etc
as first part of the subject readers know what distro it is about.
I've been following that list for some time and it is a bit heavy traffic, but
at least it gives visibility to the entire community of what is going on. Plus,
it does help the interaction between distro users as some problems or questions
are popping up across distros.
On the other hand, there are separate and dedicated lists for SHR users and SHR
developers (which I've never used so far) and developers also use IRC to
exchange info. So even the largest distro seems to be somewhat "scattered".
Not sure what would be best... On one hand, the Android community is really
small (see the doodle distro poll) so setting up a dedicated Android user
mailinglist could be overkill and could isolate the group. On the other hand, I
assume we don't want to bother the general list with pure developer discussions
and patch suggestions. Perhaps use the general list for users and have a
dedicated Dev-list... And even the dev-list we could setup later on, if
required, since we actually only have 1 or 2 people working on the code, I
think.
Again, not sure what's best.
