And I think it is wrong and counterproductive to have so many mailing lists. - All have very modest subscription numbers, and very low traffic. - Anyone has to follow a lot of them to keep track of things! - But most importantly: *where the hell am I supposed to post anything*? We'll have even more cross-posting in lists where you have 90% overlap, and to make matters worse, some of the lists involved here have broken Reply-to settings that _break_ cross-list discussions. So replies to a crosspost that involves fedora-olpc for example _break_ the discussion. Human brains s are _excellent_ at filtering, and we are a small group. Yes, all of these are sub-projects of a grander Sugar (and Fedora, and Debian, and Ubuntu, and OLPC) vision. These subprojects deserve a separate identity -- but a separate identiy does not equal a separate forum of discussion. We all talk in one shared space, but retain our name and affiliation. We need to hear all the voices and we naturally filter the messages that are relevant. -- a separate identiy does not equal a separate forum of discussion -- cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
