I'm not happy about this decision: creating new lists is expensive, it multiplies entry points for newcomers, which need to be explained *and* understood. We've multiplying processes, rules, points of contact and places to monitor, be aware of... I feel overwhelmed. I wonder how much worse that feeling is for people who are not 150% of their time following discussions online and offline on all OpenStack channels. Are you sure that a mailing list is the most appropriate way of handling requests? Aren't bug trackers more appropriate instead? And don't we have a bug tracker already? > It would also be helpful for third party operators to join this > mailing list as well as the -announce list in order to reply when they > can to distribute workload and support new participants to thethird > party community. What makes you think they will join a list called 'request'? It's a request: I file a request, get back what I asked for, I say goodbye. Doesn't sound like a place for discussions. Also, if the problem with third-party operators is that they don't stick around, how did you come to the conclusion that two more mailing lists would solve (or help solving) the problem? -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
