I remember that, yes. What I discussed with Oli, is that less people are
subscribing, because they see the list as a -devel list such as
ubuntu-devel and debian-devel, and not a support list. I've communicated
with many people who haven't joined the list yet, because of this
perception.
Seconded. I subscribed with the expectation that I'd see a bunch of
developers conversing. In fact, lists.ubuntu.com explicitly states
"Edubuntu developer discussion":
<https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/>
I should also note that I think the decision to start with only one list
is a good one. It improves the sense of community and helps to avoid the
(somewhat false) distinction between users and developers.
To sum up, this seems to be a 'truth in advertising' issue, if you will,
and not 'whither Edubuntu?'
I don't think so. I suggested to Oli that we get an additional
'edubuntu' list. He suggested that we rename the current one instead,
which would make sense, since he'd be on the 'normal' list anyway :)
That seems like it would resolve the issue fairly easily.
