Eventually, I think we're going to end up with three lists (at least): nupic-users nupic-theory nupic-hackers
However, splitting is an irreversible action, so I'm hesitant to do a three-way split right now. Fergal has a good point that new users will likely be interested in the theory, so they could benefit from reading those discussions, and it could inspire them in their usage of NuPIC. Creating a development list is essential at this point, though. I'd like to only split once right now, and we'll always have the option to split again. "[nupic-hackers]": [email protected] "[nupic-discuss]": [email protected] This assumes that *this* list will change names from [nupic-dev] to [nupic-discuss], and all development conversations will continue on the new [nupic-hackers] list. If I start getting feedback that there is too much theory or technical usage discussions happening on the main list, I'll propose another split. I'm planning on making this split and announcing the details tomorrow. --------- Matt Taylor OS Community Flag-Bearer Numenta On Sat, Nov 16, 2013 at 4:10 PM, Doug King <[email protected]> wrote: > +1 for > > nupic-users > nupic-theory > nupic-hackers or nupic-dev > > > > On Sat, Nov 16, 2013 at 3:23 PM, Chetan Surpur <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> +1 for >> >> nupic-users >> nupic-theory >> nupic-hackers >> >> >> On Sat, Nov 16, 2013 at 2:47 PM, Charles Hanchett >> <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> I'll put in my vote for a split that creates a [nupic-theory]. >>> >>> >>> On Sat, Nov 16, 2013 at 12:40 PM, Matthew Taylor <[email protected]> >>> wrote: >>>> >>>> To Mark, in regards to ML vs web forum: >>>> >>>> A mailing list is a de facto requirement for an open source project >>>> (it is #2 on Karl Fogel's list of required tools in his excellent book >>>> Producing Open Source Software[1]).
