/me pretty much agrees with Alexey.
Quoting "Lazar, Alexey Vladimirovich" <[email protected]>:
-1.
Using similar logic, the cataloguers, web team, reports, DIG and
even the dev list should also be eliminated. They are all
low-traffic and the general list serves as the all-purpose venue for
any of the content there, because “general" means anything and
everything.
I suspect that low list membership and low traffic are somewhat of a
chicken-egg type issue where one leads to another and vice versa.
My counter-recommendation is to invite people to subscribe to all
topical lists and when posting messages to first consider posting on
one of the sub lists and then if none fit the bill, use the general
list.
In theory, this should lead to a cleaner separation of posts by
topic, where the general list is used more for general announcements
- future development proposals, future functionality discussion, new
releases, event and community announcements - general topics, while
more of the specific user and technical discussion is done using the
topical lists.

Hi all,
I administer or co-administer all of the open-ils/evergreen mailing
lists, and I would like to make a motion that we deactivate the
Evergreen-Admin mailing list. It is a very low-traffic list (maybe
a dozen monthly posts at its busiest) with low membership (75
members), and most of the questions asked there would be
appropriate for Open-ILS-General. The list became active in
September 2012 in response to an IRC discussion
(http://evergreen-ils.org/irc_logs/evergreen/2012-05/%23evergreen.18-Fri-2012.log) where the majority of attendees wanted a dedicated system administration mailing
list.
In my view, the Evergreen-Admin list duplicates the purpose of
this, the General list, in that the General list serves as an
all-purpose venue for (non-development related) technical help in
running Evergreen. If you agree, please +1, otherwise, please
state your case for keeping it. ;-)
Thanks!
Chris
