Already there, but not used a lot. Druntime and Phobos are just
being spammed by GitHub.
I suggest combining the three into one Development group that
also covers dlang.org, official tools, etc. Switch the GitHub
thing off, and tell people to use it instead of General for
everything that touches on code in the dlang repositories.
I proposed two weeks ago to turn off the bot, but it seems some
people like it.
Github is already high-traffic, so I expect if we have a mailing
list it to be similar, so the seperation into groups make sense.
Enforcing the use of that group (or the three that are there
already) would reduce the traffic in General by a good amount.
That's exactly the idea!
- Language design (or Idea pool)
Sure.
- D Foundation + resources
Does the foundation really need its own channel, yet? I don't
see many threads about it.
Let's hope it will, but you are right not for the moment :/
What does "resources" mean?
What you put under Development (dlang.org, downloads, etc.)
I think this can stay in General/Other for now.
- Events
What would be posted there? Announcements of events should go
in Announce. I think this can stay in General/Other, too.
Convinced.
- Other (formerly known as General)
So incorporating your feedback it would be:
- DMD
- DRuntime
- Phobos
- Official tools and resources (dlang.org, download, ...)
- Language design (or Idea pool)
- Other (formerly known as General)
or turning off the bot instead for the first three categories
(preferred solution).
