I think the GSoC group and language feature discussion group should
be separated.
Regarding D/Phobos feature discussions, they don't damage the summer
of code discussions significantly because they put in use almost a
different part of the brain.
They do share the same time budget.
So don't read/respond to the posts. I think any discouragement for open
discussion for any topic related to D is not a healthy attitude for an
open community.
Well you know it's considerably less simpler than that. Besides, I
probably wasn't clear enough: I'm not discouraging anything as much as
encouraging discussions that mark progress in important matters.
That's a better statement. I just don't think such "unimportant"
discussions are harmful or damaging, just don't participate if you don't
want to be distracted. We're all (mostly) adults in charge of our own
schedule. We don't need to be insulated from things.
If you want to have a GSOC-only discussion group, create a new newsgroup
or mailing list. Do not hijack this group.
This is not about GSoC (it's but one of several items I mentioned), it's
simply about making headway in topics that are important.
Sorry if I got the wrong impression. I don't always read an entire thread
when I see a post I want to respond to.
