For me extending is adding new modules, generators, ... However I do not see any damage if some "user" mail will go to "dev" and vice versa.

All the ASF projects I am subscribed to have [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am very used to this and I guess I am not the only one. It would confuse me if I would need to write to another mailing list. For me user of lenya are customizing lenya/pub and devs are the one that extending lenya. Some of this extension may end up into the main distribution if donated to and accepted by lenya. Further the administrative work to rename the lists and the resulting problems are IMO not worth the benefits. salu2 -- Thorsten Scherler thorsten.at.apache.org Open Source Java consulting, training and solutions --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
