That is my impression too. There's been no change to what CF is doing, just
the technology, with conventions discussions taking place on GitHub instead
of trac. Both are distributed via the email list.

But maybe we are behaving differently on GitHub? It seems there's more of a
tendency to make a short remark on GitHub than there was on trac. Is this
inevitable? To keep the noise down, could we limit ourselves to one posting
per issue per day per person, for example, as a guideline?

Another way for people to manage to traffic is to change to getting a daily
compendium of the emails, rather than each individually.

We need more investigation of what can be done with GitHub and the email list.
We should relieve Brian of his long-held responsibility for the email list as
soon as we can, by some means.

Best wishes
