You can post questions/queries about it's administration, purview of activities, events/conferences that concern it (that is, where GNOME is involved or being promoted) and related matters. For help regarding GNOME and it's applications see: gnome-shell, gnome-love... Such a description should be more elaborate in explaining the mailing list's intention, I think.

Hi, all I was wondering lately what topics are OK to post on this mailing list because lately I have been seeing many people post unrelated topics on mailing lists including this [1][2] such as gtk-list[3], desktop-devel-app[4]. There are 2 posts this month on this mailing list that do not pertain to the idea of this mailing list. While it's OK for a user unaware of these things to post and we can address our replies to him/her only and point them in the right direction, however I think all active GNOME contributors (especially those who are new to the community) must be made aware of correct etiquette for posting on mailing lists *explicitly* while signing up by perhaps by giving a small description of what the subscriber can post on the mailing list? While it's easy to simply hit 'Delete' or look the other way at such queries for help, these attitudes do not align with the right spirit of Open Source and of GNOME as a community. I suggest we take a few proactive measures to minimize occurrence of such e-mail. I also decided to check out http://www.gnome.org/foundation/charter.html, which does not seem to exist. Andreas?

Heya :) On Thu, May 23, 2013 at 11:57:02PM +0530, Sindhu S wrote: I was wondering lately what topics are OK to post on this mailing list because lately I have been seeing many people post unrelated topics on mailing lists including this [1][2] such as gtk-list[3], desktop-devel-app[4]. At least one of those emails landed in global the moderation queue that I look after evey so often. I usually don't reject mails unless it's SPAM or very obviously off topic. I'd prefer more list owners so that less mails will hit the global moderation queue. I suggest we take a few proactive measures to minimize occurrence of such e-mail. Cool. Do you have a concrete suggestion? I quite sure that we can put up a small text next to the mailing lists.
