will be interested to hear about the next assembly. An assembly and ideas
for a planned assembly is not a meta discussion. In addition to that, there
Adir, you hit the nail right on the head! The "meta" list was for meta-
discussion, namely, discussion on how to discuss, i.e., discussions like
whether or not moderating a certain member on the mailing list is ok or not,
or where to discuss things.
Discussion of the assembly proposals is NOT meta-discussion! So it doesn't
belong in [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So as I understand it, you want to create yet another list only for
assembly-related discussions, so people will have to susbcribe to yet
another list to get information and participate in discussion. Meta already
exists, and discussions there exist in short bursts. There is no reason not
to reuse that list.
Whether it belongs in assembly@ or discussions@, is debatable. But it
certainly doesn't belong in [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Assembly is dead. It's ONLY purpose is to send announcements. Anything else
is not proper netiquette. If you wish, a new list can be opened for assembly
related discussions, but what will make people subscribe there?
Automatically subscribing people to mailing lists is not proper netiquette.
