It is slightly redundant, but I think it's nice to keep the option open to create other foo-discuss or bar-contrib mailing lists if the project grows and splits into independent subprojects. Also, fortunately "gwt" is pretty short. It could be worse; e.g., " [email protected]". ;) I was going to propose moving to more typical users@ and dev@ list > names, since that is what most open source projects use. > > And that might be a good idea, but I'll admit that newbies often see > "dev@" and think "well, hey, I'm a developer, I'll post here", when > really their post belongs on user@. > Yeah, I'm torn on that too and for the same reason. But I'd also like to avoid the name "gwt-users" just because that's also the name of Google's internal GWT users mailing list, and using the same name just makes it more likely that a Googler accidentally confuses the two. -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Contributors" group.
