I sort of agree with BJ on this. We are better off having one list that
welcomes newbie questions and/or advanced questions about OSGi
technology (i.e., osgi-dev)...if the question needs to be directed to a
specific OSGi implementations, then we have sufficient knowledge here to
direct the poster to that community.

I am not sure what the distinction would be between the current osgi-dev
list and the proposed osgi-users list.
The current osgi-dev list is described as: "This is a technical mail list
for OSGi Developers. Any OSGi technical discussion or questions are
acceptable here."
Since OSGi is a specification (and the implementations all have their own
-users lists), the "users" of the specification *are* developers. Yes, the
type of questions may vary from detailed discussion of some areas of the
spec to "how do I install a bundle?" But these are all developer
questions.
The type of questions like "how do I start the framework?" are more
implementation specific questions that are outside the scope of the OSGi
specifications. These sorts of questions are best handled in the
implementation specific forums.
But perhaps I am missing something here. Do you see the 2 lists catering
to developers of differing OSGi experience levels? How do we describe the
2 lists to make sure that people use the appropriate list?
