I'm afraid that these "features@" lists in our projects are not meant
for discussions, it's only for announcements.
OK, maybe dev@ is a better one?
On "dev@" you will find developers (I hope ;-)), but discussing features
is a little bit off topic there.
Hmm.. looking at
http://framework.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectMailingListList ,
both state 'discussion list'. I guess we have to discuss first on which
topics will be discussed and which not ;-)
Of course basically you can discuss features on every list, wether this
is useful or not depends on with whom you want to talk. If you want to
reach developers the right tool is an RFE in Issuezilla. If you want to
discuss with other users, the general "discuss" or "users" list is a
good place, but ony very few developers are subscribed to them.
There was some reasonable discussion here on this topic, so I though to
look for a platform where more developers or other technical people are
present.
I find it somewhat un-satisfying that discussions on discuss@ lead to ..
ehh.
A few developers are also subscribed to "discuss" (like me) and try to
participate in some discussions if time permits. The problem with this
list sometimes was the large amount of off topic posts, so many
developers left and didn't come back. I can't judge whether this will
change in the near future.
I cannot say that the ones who left, did wrong :-\ (
I think I myself once wrote that only very little results come from the
discussions here - which might have been too pessimistic, but anyway.
The situation as it is, lays more responsability on the shoulders of
those (from the devs) that remained. It is good if they can pick up the
fruitfull discussions, or ideas that are ready to use, to guide them to
another level :-)
Kindest regards,
Cor
