Hi Joshua,
in case you are interested in the vote, see below...
As far as I can recall the list was pretty busy at this time and some people worried about the signal-to-noise ratio while thinking about 650 Apache fellows plus users or as you put it "having a mechanism to quite people who make noise".
Just an example from Andy (Andy, please don't take any offense at citing you; I just picked your mail randomly):
<cite> I'd like to protect the list from random posters. If a user or someone wants to get in, then fine let them in if they have something to contribute, but this will prevent someone posting a random "Gee how do I use tomcat" or "here is what you should do but I have never and will never contribute to apache in any realy sense of the word" posts that often degrade the quality of the list. ... </cite>
Yah. Right. And where would I find those archives? One good reason for opening a list is it allows us to have public archives.
doh, I'm just wondering why community@ shouldn't be publicly archived given the voting results:
The resulting actions will be:
1) this list will be archived and the archives pubblicly made available
I would suggest using 'EyeBrowse' web mail archive system (see http://nagoya.apache.org/)
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/SummarizeList?listId=108 unfortunately lists 0 messages :-(
cheers, Erik

69 ASF committers expressed their votes.
The resulting actions will be:
1) this list will be archived and the archives pubblicly made available
I would suggest using 'EyeBrowse' web mail archive system (see http://nagoya.apache.org/)
2) subscription and posting on this list will remain close to committers.
If a committer would like somebody which is not an ASF committer to be able to subscribe on this list, he/she will require the explicit vote of this list (where lazy consensus will apply) of this list.
Thank you.
