Hi,
I'm mainly active on the users list, but being a full-time developer I am also monitoring the dev
mailing list, just to keep my eyes open for new interesting features..
I do think that the feedback on the users list is rather low. Traffic on that list is usually much
lower on the users list than on the dev list. So I would like to encourage either more dev people to
monitor the users list, or to do some merging of some kind.
Just as we speak, a message called "multiple xpaths" has been reposted on the dev list by someone
who was not satisfied with the response on the users list. And more important, I am very sure that
other members on the users list are interested in answers from dev people as well.
Too bad you cannot cross-post between the two lists, that alone could have made
things easier.
I am also against "user" list. It has a degenerating tone to it, and the fact
that many developers are not subscribed to user@ seems to promote that notion
further.
My suggestion;
1. Rename the list "support@" or some similarly positive term.
2. Route all support@ mails to dev@ with a [SUPPORT] subject marker. That
keeps users who want to be protected from the RTs, wild dev discussions
and so on.
+1 to this idea. Though, where should answers go?
Cheers,
Geert
