It seems to me that the following administrative changes would simplify
things considerably
1) Split the JDO list from the XML list.
2) Split the JDO list into a "dev" list and a "user" list
Talented, experienced programmers like Bruce, Thomas, the Kevins etc
(apologies to anyone I missed by name, you know who you are ;-) would
manage the "dev" list which would be limited to advanced questions about
the internals, refactoring, feature discussions. The list would be
managed by CVS committers.
The "user" list would be used to field the questions from "newbies" and
could be managed by experienced users who would like to help the Castor
JDO project but lack the time and ability to do anything to the
internals (I would consider myself to be in this category). If a
particularly curly question is asked, it can be "thrown" up to the "dev"
list for an answer.
This would allow the "dev" team to spend more time on the refactoring
and enhancement of the JDO code.
But this would only work if sufficient users were willing to take the
load of newbie questions away from people like Bruce who tirelessly
field these at the moment.
