To me, proton is very clearly a distinct stream of work. While [email protected] is probably better than using the current user list, I feel like the obvious list to create is [email protected]. I think there is a good chance that an amqp-libraries list will just end up being an oddly named list for the proton sub-project anyways. Any additional separate streams of work that come along will probably want their own list for the same reasons as proton. --Rafael --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
