We've had a lot of mailing list traffic lately. Already, halfway through the month of November, there are far more than all the messages from October. This is a great problem, but I'm getting some feedback that indicates we're going to lose some ML members if we don't find a way to decrease traffic.
This is a critical time for the development of the NuPIC software, and much of the discussion has been about software engineering and technical decisions about how NuPIC should evolve. These conversations will only grow as NuPIC grows. Other major topics include CLA theory and NuPIC usage. I propose creating a new mailing list, called "nupic-dev", which sends emails with the subject prefix "[nupic-dev]" (just like this one does currently). Also, we change the email subject prefix for *this* list to "[nupic-users]". So we'll have two lists: "[nupic-dev]": nupic-...@lists.numenta.org Topics: - NuPIC development - algorithm implementation - software engineering processes and strategies - future of the NuPIC project "[nupic-users]": nupic@lists.numenta.org Topics: - HTM / CLA theory - NuPIC usage (installation, use-cases, projects) Hopefully, we'll keep all our current subscribers on [nupic-users], and those interested in the development of NuPIC will also subscribe to [nupic-dev], where we'll continue having discussions involving the development of the NuPIC software. As open source projects grow, they usually have a few mailing lists associated with them, including xxx-dev, xxx-users, xxx-ann (annoucements), and sometimes more. At some point in the future, there may even be a point to break out a [nupic-theory] list up from [nupic-users]. Anyone opposed? I'm going to let this topic ride for a few days to let people have a chance to comment before taking any action. This is your chance to weigh in. --------- Matt Taylor OS Community Flag-Bearer Numenta _______________________________________________ nupic mailing list nupic@lists.numenta.org http://lists.numenta.org/mailman/listinfo/nupic_lists.numenta.org
