I'm going to suggest that we leave all the lists in place for now, and leave the choice of list to individual discretion. For my part however I will be focusing on the user list, which I see as a community wide list for anyone with an interest at AMQP related software at Apache. I would

It's really about architecture and audience and how they interact. The architecture we are currently developing is closely modelled on the existing architecture of the internet. At the lowest layer the TCP stack provides a very general purpose protocol to a very wide range of applications. This is

I'm in favor of combining them all into one. If not that, then at least collapse the proton list. The level of traffic on that list isn't unreasonable, and, frankly, keeping it separate probably leads to some of the confusion we're seeing over the goals of this project. -K - Original

I agree that the qpid and proton users should be on the same list. Also, it's useful for much of the development info to be open to the users list. My only concern for a second list is for things that committers may need to talk about but which the larger user community doesn't care about. For

Hi Rafi, You raise some good points, but I don't understand how keeping a separate proton list makes it easier to provide a coherent view of the qpid project, especially to newcomers. As you point out: The project goals/identity issue in my mind has very little to do with the lists and
