We should probably have a general discussion about what we want to do as a project going forward. While it's difficult to nail down a set strategy as a lot of pieces are still evolving, an honest dialogue about what we would want "QPid" to become is a good thing to have. I felt that the opposition (or support) for the list was based on various assumptions and demonstrates the lack of consensus and clarity as a team. I agree 100% with Gordon's comments. The issue with the mailing list is just a symptom of a more larger problem we have in the project. We need to ask ourselves what we want to achieve collectively as a project, so our individual contributions on a daily basis reflects that. Or else we will all pull in different directions, which will only hurt us long term.
