Hi all, I also agree with having a seperate list for users. This is also based on my experience with other projects I have worked with. The dev and users lists were different and a seperate users list makes it clean from users point of view also.
And if there are only few users then also it makes sense to have a seperate list. If we have that now we can continue with that instead of creating a list later and asking all subscribed users to subscribe to a different list later. And aren't we expecting no of users to grow? we are. Thanks Bhupendra On 11/23/06, Marnie McCormack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
All, I can see the value in a user list now for the noise advoidance value. I routinely have more than 50 new messages on the dev list when I login to my email, and even using googlemail with threading (which not all our users will be using) it's quite hard to see the wood for the trees :-) Marnie On 11/23/06, Rajith Attapattu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If we have a substantial user base already then I think there is value in > going for a user list. > I agree and understand the point made by Cliff and Paul about the > community > being fragmented. > > But I also see agree with roberts comments.
