Hi Geertjan! Technically that's as easy as creating an INFRA ticket.
But note that such things first need consensus among the PMC. The Apache way would be to create a [DISCUSS] mail thread. Do you think that there will be sufficient traffic on this list? I'm usually reluctant to introduce lists and resources upfront. I'd only do it once we get proper traffic. Do you mind to share the amount of traffic you expect? Ofc the amount of traffic is only one possible criterium. Setting up the mailing lists is rather cheap, but getting the community to the lists is often much more work. txs and LieGrue, strub > Am 22.05.2017 um 12:24 schrieb Geertjan Wielenga > <[email protected]>: > > Hi all, especially mentors, > > We'd like to set up a new mailing list for NetCAT (the NetBeans Community > Acceptance Testing team), so that as soon as the 1st code donation is done, > constituting a Java SE distro of NetBeans IDE, including Java 9 features, > the NetCAT program can start. > > There's always a subset of the NetBeans community that verifies new > NetBeans releases.
