My thoughts: -1 to private: Keep it public - default to open :) -1 to invitations: they are hurdle (even if they can request it themselves) +1 to google groups. It's much easier for new people to join (web/mail/newsgroup) than the complexity we got now with nabble/mailing-list/gmane and less issues (not all nable's post are on the mailing list, ...). +1 to split up the user lists per drools subproject (drools, guvnor, planner). It would reduce and focus the volume of each list. -1 to split up the dev list or change it somehow for now
