Hi all, As of last week, the fcrepo-user and fcrepo-dev mailing lists are now configured so that replies, by default, are sent back to the list. To all current subscribers of these lists, we wanted to make sure you're aware of the change and the reason behind it.
The Fedora committers voted to make this change after careful consideration over the past few weeks. With the former configuration, many of us noticed that replies were being accidentally sent to individuals rather than to the list. We really want to encourage keeping discussions on the list because for many Fedora users and developers, the lists are the main avenue for getting help and discussing Fedora development. In particular, because these lists are indexed by search engines, the archives act as a useful sort of knowledge base for people looking for help, so we want to encourage on-list communication as much as possible. We recognize that some people won't agree with this configuration, but we have seen it work well for other open source projects (many of Apache Jakarta's projects' lists work this way[1]), and we really believe the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
