The distraction is a feature, for any project which you intend to take up a significant part of your spare time, and to contribute rather than just reading occasionally: it keeps you engaged. If I had to "go" to a separate place just to keep up on OpenMoko stuff, I would probably not get around to it very often. Whereas for me, reading email almost continuously is a very old habit (started in about 1994). Emails from my favorite project lists remind me very often of what I intend to be working on after I go home from work. Although, the signal/noise ratio on this list is quite bad, so it's not a very good use of time to actually read most of the stuff. (And it's even less worthwhile for me to add to the noise, of which this thread is a good example, but here I am doing just that. :-) _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
