IMHO such lists don't (often) make sense. Jukka made the suggestion using Hadoop as an example of a consortium of projects. However, there is (to my knowledge - Jukka will correct me if I'm wrong) no such list for Hadoop. What topics would need to be discussed on a general mailing list between the two projects which could not be adequately carried out on the more focused project list? Unless there is a very surprising answer to the above question, the way I see it the options are... - Ripple as a sub-project of Cordova with all development on cordova-dev (potential for too much non-cordova discussion) - example lucene and friends - Ripple as a new podling with all development on ripple-dev and cordova-dev (interested cordova and ripple devs cross-subscribe) - example hadoop and friends Remember, this is only my opinion based on my observations of what works in the ASF today - the ASF is a flexible place. Changes to old approaches can be adopted when good reason to do so is presented.
