For several years, I subscribed to Firebird-architect maillist. I didn't
have much to contribute other than asking the odd (dumb) question, but
it was very educational to me.
But, of course, the purpose of that maillist wasn't that --to educate
me--, there they discussed a lot of architectural stuff, usually way
above implementation details.
Jim Starkey's presence was extremely valuable as he was practically
there when world discovered RDBMSes; and, he would --more often than
not-- have tried quite a lot of the bright ideas suggested by other
members. He'd list what went right/wrong at the time he tried them and
what would it take to avoid pitfalls etc. Or, he would, in a few
paragraphs, explain theoretical things you'd spend a semeter to grasp.
So, what I am getting at is this: Is there such a list/platform where
only architectural/design issues (no commit details, no coding minutea
etc.) are discussed?
If there is, I'd like to subscribe to it as a read-only member [I won't
add noise, promise.]
If there's not one, I wonder if people here think it would be a good
idea to have one?
