View 1: Open the list completely, anyone can subscribe, post and read the archive
I see people voting 2 instead of 1 because of the presumed noise that would be appear if non-committers/members/pmc'ers/board'ers would be allowed on that list (i.e. 'users', 'supporters', 'evangelists' ... ;-)
Please bear in mind that community@ is not about specific projects nor technology, that it (yet) doesn't carry the connotation general@ has, and that [EMAIL PROTECTED] has been able to live through the infrequent 'help-i-don't-know-how-to-start-tomcat' question. Maybe it would be showing off our community skills if we have a list where our users and ourselves (the ASF'ers, whatever that means) can meet without fearing a http://jakarta.apache.org/site/idiot.html link ;-)
Also, please remember that one _has_ to subscribe - an initial burden that filters out the utter clueless people, I believe.
