Although I have only registered very recently and posted only once to this list, I also support an osgi-users list as, as an osgi | enRoute beginner, it always definitively feels awkward to disrupt a list/forum (and therefore more advanced subscribers) with likely trivial and basic questions - so yes please... I would be very happy to be also subscribed to this new list - thanks in advance!!

I support a an osgi-users list but I think a specific OSGi enRoute list is wrong since the far majority of questions is from developers that want have problems developing with OSGi.

Kind regards,

Maybe we need an osgi-users list for more general help type questions and osgi-dev can stay more focussed on spec related discussions? I could create the osgi-users list and intially subscribe everyone on osgi-dev to it. Then people can unsubscribe from either (or both) lists as they see fit. But, in general, there is a tension between being too fine and too coarse. Much like designing the modularity of your bundles... :-)

    Since I pushed at the OSGi board level to move enRoute discussion
    here, let me take this back (meeting this coming week) and see
    what we can do. It's not intended to alienate anyone who were
    enjoying the list as it was. The idea was simply to coalesce two
    already low volume channels into one... but perhaps that wasn't a
    good idea after all.
    Sincerely,
    - Ray

            Hi Peter,


            Peter Kriens a écrit le 20/10/2016 13:52 :

                I did a quick check on the last messages on this list:

            [snip]

                So out of more than 60 messages, there were only 5
                messages related
                to OSGi enRoute. Are these your problem? Since I will
                spend much less
                time on OSGi enRoute a new release is unlikely.

            Maybe I am wrong to characterize it as enRoute. I don't know.

            I do count those Zigbee messages, the native library
            loading, and so on, as enRoute support. Mostly because
            the authors come
            with a "Help me solve my whole problem" mindset, and I
            believe they came
            to post here because they are trying enRoute (because
            they said so).

            Karaf's ML has a lot of similar "general questions about
            Java/shell
            help/OSGi" threads, because many Karaf users consider the
            whole of it as
            a stack and often don't know where to ask (or don't care
            since they get
            help wherever they ask anyway!). I believe Karaf has
            split their lists
            between karaf-users@ for general purpose and karaf-devs@
            and for more
            specific spec/higher-level discussion.


            By my count since it moved here more than 30% of all mail
            count has been
            posted here because osgi-dev is the enRoute support list.
            (~180 mails
            since ~20th of september, 60+ very basic "Help me" requests).

            My problem is with the quality of the discussed content.
            I stayed 2 days
            on Karaf's users@ ML before unregistering because of the
            amount of
            StackOverflow/IRC kind of questions. My problem is seing
            the content
            quality of osgi-dev@ decreasing, and because the quality
            was satisfying
            before: mostly spec discussion on specific points, not
            "Help me I'm
            lost" questions.

            If no one else has that feeling, fine. I'm asking if
            others do. Łukasz
            Dywicki seemed to say so quite early on I suppose he and
            maybe other
            share the sentiment.


            Best regards,
