We currently have: I would prefer to see all kernel stuff discussed on linux-arm-kernel, so that there is one central place where people can go to look for stuff, in much the same way as the main linux-kernel list. I'd also like these "other" mailing lists provide a clear definition of their purpose so that it can be documented and readily available to people. Please, don't loose sight that we're not huge community (yet)! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Russell; Although I believe that you are correct in wanting arm kernel stuff discussed on linux-arm-kernel. The touch screen API is an issue that crosses many platforms and Operating Systems. Since at this time is mostly handheld devices that need a touch screen API, I think handhelds.org is the most appropriate place. In the past, I would have agree with you, that the linux-kernel list should have been the appropriate forum, but, IMHO, the main linux-kernel mailing list is becoming over crowed and too busy with side discussions that do not effect the main stream kernel. I think it is good, that there are more separate mailing list which take some of the pressure off of the linux-kernel list. The best examples that comes to mind is the USB mailing list or the linix-arm list. I believe that Charlie should send a note to the linux-kernel list, BSD lists and the plan9 list, telling everybody whom is interested that, a touch screen API is being discussed at handhelds.org. This is not a Linux only issue. There are many applications that run on multiple OSs. This week, I hope to have time to have a more clear definition and purpose of the handhelds.org lists. In short is a place to discuss and solve the issues that effect handheld/wearable devices in the Open Source community across Operating Systems. with delusions of grandeur, --George George France, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cambridge Research Laboratory, Compaq Computer Corporation One Cambridgecenter MS: CRL Cambridge, MA 02142 USA unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++ Please use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for ++ ++ kernel-related discussions. ++
