I think more lists produce more confusion than single one. In fact I'd
vote for joining maemo-users and developers as there is no really
significant difference in topics posted to them. Developer questions get
posted to maemo-users and vice versa and sometimes topics are duplicated
since people don't read the other list.
The original intention for maemo-developers was for discussing
development of the platform itself (think gtk-devel-list) and
maemo-users for developing applications to run on maemo
(gtk-app-devel-list)
We haven't really been pushing people to other lists, though. It may or
may not have been a good idea.
I would be wary of too much splitting, especially without _very_ clear
delineations between the lists. I wouldn't suggest creating more than
three areas, one for end users, one for application developers, and one
for platform developers. But I think two lists is even more
appropriate. Application development questions often evolve into
platform api discussions and bug reports, and the line between the two
is fluid.
Mainly, I think people need to be "meaner" on maemo-developers about
pushing non-development discussion over to the users list.
Thanks,
Mike
