I have to say that I do not completely agree. I think that we should first see
if the issues with the CC can be resolved before we "run away". I believe
that the mail server issues should not be resolved (both hardware and
software upgrades), so that should not now be an issue.
I really believe that "moving" the mailing list could split this very
productive community.
Well, you know I disagree :) I don't see how changing the mailing list
would be such a catastrophic event. It's just a server you send emails
to. Second, while Andre has done a great job at representing OOoAuthors
in the OOo Council, it does not look like the council's decision will
change. Finally, I don't see why last week's server update should fix
the list problems that haven't been solved in years. Though I'm no
expert, it looks to me that the technical problems are fairly
fundamental (using the same engine to run CVS, the website, IssueZilla,
the code repository and the mailing lists).
The benefits of moving seem great, and the drawbacks small. There's no
reason why changing mailing list should be a big problem. Changing
mailing list will not keep us from working with the rest of the
community, or addressing Andre's concerns (e.g. PDL), etc.
Cheers,
Daniel.
