Putting some (approximate) numbers on the traffic to make things clearer. The number of mails so far during 2006 for the proposed lists:563 commons-user 1396 commons-dev (excluding the new lists below) 132 commons-wiki (I think this can be included in commons-dev) 861 commons-issues 710 commons-commits 370 commons-ci (this is GUMP)To put this into context, here are the numbers for the current list setup:563 commons-user 3469 commons-dev
Many people already complain about the amount of traffic. You know what happens if we split the list like that? Many people will do is to unsubscribe to commons-wiki commons-issues commons-commits commons-ci ...which means less oversight about the project. Not sure if that would be a good move. At least we should make it compulsory for committers to be subscribed to all these lists. My 2 cents cheers -- Torsten
