Lars, "And Lawrence, was there any point in your message asking if it was a mistake?"
My point was to state the obvious, that the Apache WS community has lost a lot of mailing list subscribers since merging all of the lists (I don't know if this was expected), and to start discussion on whether this merge was a mistake and should be undone. Moving the commits to another list should alleviate some of the pain. Whether it will be enough to stop the exodus of subscribers remains to be seen. As far as I'm concerned, losing interested people's attention is counter productive to an open source (or any) project.

In the last couple of days however I have been bombarded with SPAM from all kinds of Apache projects that I am not interested in at all. At some point someone asked if it was a mistake to merge the Apache mailing lists and a couple of people replied that they actually think that it indeed was a big mistake and that was it, no action whatsoever. So my question is very simple, is there some professional person that can see that it was a very bad idea to merge the mailing lists and is willing to undo this mistake, or do we people that don't what our mailboxes filled-up with unrelated SPAM, have to unsubscribe? And Lawrence, was there any point in your message asking if it was a mistake? Lars On 23-10-2010 03:38, Daniel Kulp wrote: > The lists should now all be merged into just dev@ and us...@.
