I agree with Craig about this potentially dividing the community up. While many prefer to work exclusively in one camp or another there are plenty of people who want to stay on top of what's happening in both camps.
Since "shale" is not a word most of us use in everyday conversation (except when talking about *the shale* subproject) I think a simple key word filter would work even if the user did not mention [shale] in the subject line. sean ps. I've been limiting my shale questions to the dev list since its not even 1.0 yet and the community is still growing. Hopefully this is ok.
