Yes, I don't think, that the developers will stay on the dev-list, if it's going to be overwhelmed with unrelated topics. > > Right - that's one of the negative aspects of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > What do you think about a new list restricted to people being project > member of any of the OOo projects?

Normally I would say, "Yes, this is a good idea", but do you really think, that everyone will subscribe to this list? There were thoughts, that there are too many mailinglists, that no-one can monitor all the lists. This was the main concern for missing (important) informations. And now, we create a new list? Don't misinterpret me, I would say, that having such a list, open only for project members, would be a good idea, but I doubt, that the people, already active in any project, will monitor another list. > > > > For discussions on communication and walled gardens, I suggest we > > keep them here, on this list? > > > For walled gardens between N-L project teams this is the right list, > but it doesn't help at all if we find a way to optimize the way of > communication with developers if they don't take part in this > discussion. I don't like the idea of a walled garden in a community project like OOo. In my opinion, a garden is a lot nicer, if it's open and welcoming to everyone. ;) Sigrid --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
