Well, that's the beauty. You don't. You still subscribe to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list which is a superset of the rest. Transparent change to you. The only difference is that when you send a message to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address, it's rerouted to dev-talk. When a message arrives at dev-talk, dev-commit, or dev-wiki, it's also sent to anyone on the dev mailing list. David Graham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This has been discussed before.

Most of the people on this list aren't committers. What's wrong with giving the rest of us a choice if it costs you nothing? The Struts project is free to maintain a policy that committers must be subscribed to dev. > Email filters completely solve this issue without the overhead and > confusion of additional lists. <sarcasm> The same could be said of spam, but I'd rather opt-in for mailings rather than opt-out after they arrive at my computer. </sarcasm> There's no overhead once it's set up. <more sarcasm> Otherwise, why not combine the struts-dev and and struts-user lists? After all, email filters can eliminate whichever list you don't want to receive..... In fact, we can just have all apache mailing lists go to one address.... </more sarcasm> -Mike > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Mike Kienenberger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Struts Developers List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 7:45 PM > Subject: Re: Separate Lists for Wiki & Commits? > > > > Richard Bywater <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > > > Just wondering if there has been any consideration to creating new lists > > to use for Wiki & Commit updates?
