spam free.  (I say that with no intention to criticize the

I've also noticed one or two messages about the possibility of moving
another moderated list to vger.  Certainly I prefer open lists that
don't require subscriptions to post.

So with that background, what would people think about creating an open
vger list (say, [email protected]) to carry the discussion
currently on [email protected]?  (The transition plan would
probably be to keep the general@ list for a month or two, with frequent

Very good initiative

I don't believe there's any problem with that.  vger already hosts quite
a few lists that are userspace only (eg git) or span user and kernel (eg
alsa and kvm).  And in any case the total traffic (# of subscribers, #
of messages) that the current general@ list generates is pretty minimal
compared to what vger already handles, so I think there's no problem
with having a [email protected] carry everything that
[email protected] does today.

The one question I would have would be do the kernel.org people want to
see all of the traffic that we currently have on the open fabrics 
general list for all of the user-space components? 

I do not think it would be good if we had to have one list on vger for
kernel work and another one for all the user-space work.  Other than
that, I do not really care where the general develop list is hosted. 

my 2 cents,
woody
