How would you expect the content of mails to differ between these lists?sure he/she can, but edubuntu is the only ubuntu distro that only has this one list, all other follow the namig scheme of having -users, -devel and the localized listsWhat would be the purpose of such a split? It's not like this is a busy list. Usually one considers this when a list becomes too busy to follow, although it would have to be really busy to be too much for even a moderately experienced list user.the idea behind the split as i understood it in the pre-last edubuntu meeting was to give users that are scared by the -devel name anopportunity to communicate, i agree that the list is *very* low trafficand not restricted to -devel problems at all, but the name doesnt indicate that.So I guess vote "no" to a split as currently mooted. If there just has to be split for some reason, then I would suggest a "technical" list, and a "chat" list. A discussion about whether the list should be split for example, would fall under "chat".thats exactly how lists are split in the ubuntu world, a chat list "-users" and a tech list "-devel" for every ubuntu based distro out there :)
If that's the distinction, then I think we are in agreement around the purpose of such a proposed split.
But would good names for a technical list and a chat list not be technical and chat respectively?
