With the release approaching, I see the need for a second mailing list
in Italian: we now have ooo-it-utenti (users) and I would like to add
ooo-it-progetto (project).
I'm thus asking for creation of this new mailing list in 72 hours, and
assuming consensus if nobody objects.
The two lists are completely different in scope:
- the users list is for peer-to-peer support, announcements, generic
discussions and has been functioning correctly since December, with
traffic varying according to the topics being discussed)
- the project list is for volunteers only (not for users) and it is used
to coordinate activities, especially QA and localization; it will
produce very high traffic from now to the release time, and then
occasional traffic until we are back in a pre-release period or a
scheduled localization/QA sprint. I expect the traffic to be too high
for people on the users list, so I would prefer to use a separate list;
of course, we will inform users any time an activity (such as the
OpenOffice 3.4 localization or QA cycle) begins on the "project" lists.

Andrea.
Hi, Andrea,
One small quibble.
If you mean that the list is /intended/ for volunteers, but users are
welcome to subscribe if they want to, that's probably okay.
If only volunteers can subscribe, that's probably not okay; we should
keep everything as publicly available as possible.
