I don't know why I didn't think of this before!
[PROPOSAL] Ask the community to move all discussion of forums, user
support, forum management or technical implementations, over to the
ooo-users@ mailing list.
Rationale:
- ooo-dev@ is pretty heavily loaded, and this will reduce traffic for
people just working on code, build, and code IP issues.
- Much of the discussion about forum governance and technology is
coming from new (to Apache) users who have already expressed
frustration at the high traffic volume on ooo-dev@.
- Issues of user support techniques and issues of compiler flags are
really unrelated, and could easily be on separate lists.
- ooo-users@ is likely to remain somewhat quiet anyway until we have
more progress with a deliverable to show to end users.
Note that this presumes sufficient PPMC members will also join the
ooo-users@ list to ensure that we can get proper consensus on any
issues there before bringing them up for [VOTE]s or the like.
Note: history shows that it's important to think carefully before
opening new mailing lists or moving discussions between lists. But I
think it's worth doing in this case.

I'm not against a move, but I hope that the initial dust-storm has died
down and we can carry on here in the new calmer way.
