Release discussions generally occur on dspace-devel and dspace-commit lists (though infrequently). I would recommend not separating the IR Manager user group out of the user community. I've been generally dissatisfied with the breakup of the community over the lists of [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and dspace- [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've recommended in the past, a consolidation of or restructuring of this list setup. By breaking off even more avenues for discussion, it creates an even great state of chaos and localized discussion that is difficult to keep track of. In the past I recommended moving dspace-general to the SF site to assure that its is clearly identified with the DSpace foundation and community rather than MIT Libraries. In the past I've also recommened renaming the lists to clarify the standard defacto OS listserv roles that they should be playing in the community [EMAIL PROTECTED] --> consolidate into below [EMAIL PROTECTED] --> [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or possibly dspace- community) [EMAIL PROTECTED] --> [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] --> [EMAIL PROTECTED] I also recommend an additional read only list. [EMAIL PROTECTED] For which folks only interested in official dspace foundation/ community announcements and not other discussions happening above. I am concerned that the spawning off of new discussion/chat/email lists is undermining the communities ability to maintain a centralized and clearly transparent mechanism for communication. -Mark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark R.
