I should have asked what the intention of the rbridges-dev list
was before jumping to too many conclusions...

I agree that bouncing problems are annoying, and a bit of a defect.
Because of that, I've initially the list up so that held postings
don't generate a bounce message.
Thanks.

First of all, the archives are open. Anyone can read them. And
anyone can file a subscription request to be added to the list, and as
long as the request is reasonable (and not "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"),
I'll approve it. The list itself isn't hidden.
The -dev mailing list is the project team itself.
Ok. Personally, I found the name misleading.
Then again, the whole "-discuss" thing seems to me to be
an extra level of verbosity that's not really required.
I also don't see why you can't have "rbridges-iteam" as the
opensolaris list name - that's much more self explanatory
if you've got some history of working at Sun - and leaves
open using "-dev" for a level between -iteam and -discuss,
if that's so desired.

I've created this list instead of having the usual @sun-com i-team
mailing list. There won't be any Sun-internal list for this project
-- at all. In fact, in doing that, I'm placing this project more in
the open than just about any project in OpenSolaris. Nothing is being
done in secret here. The meetings (when we have them) will have
published open dial-in numbers, the only project gates will be on
opensolaris.org, and I plan to do our project problem tracking via
some open system -- not bugster.
What would have been nice would an email explaining how the
project is going to be run so that we all knew what was going
on - or perhaps I should have just asked rather than jumped to
conclusions. If you haven't blogged about this then I'm sure
there is a chance for a blog entry along the lines of "First
OpenSolaris project at Sun in the Open" or similar.
Otherwise, discussion about the project properly belongs on
networking-discuss, as I said in the original message. If the traffic
related to the project directed there becomes burdensome, I'll ask to
have an open rbridges-discuss mailing list as well.

In any event, I think your complaint is misguided.
Accepted.
