This talks mostly of 'moving there' which suddenly in a very short time
quite a number of people seem on board with. Glad that you're so thrilled
about it. To be honest, while I am not always happy with ways we discuss,
that has more often to do with the people than with the technology.

Very short answer is "that mailing lists are an awful user experience for
most people".

Thanks for that idea. Discourse looks great. Ma
I agree that thankspam is somewhat irritating, but it is also a good way to
make people feel welcome and appreciated. An alternative is to consider
moving wikimedia-l to a tool like discourse.org that has (1) built-in
likes, which communicate welcome and appreciation without creating noise
and (2)
These days those messages are the best stuffs sent to this list, I'm
definitely not bored by them. Anyone subscribing this list knows is a

Thankspam is not big a problem in my opinion. One or two seconds per
message and you're done, then your mind will be full of good. What I
find most annoying are long emails with few actual contents. You have to
read them to find out they were not worth reading.

I do agree in general that generic '+1' emails contribute very little. If
you really want to thank someone, or welcome them, it probably makes a
better impression if you write a little more than that. Say a few lines to
introduce the list, give them a tip or offer them to show them around.

Pardon my poor sense of humour, but I couldn't resist! :P
I believe "thank you" and "please" are magic words, specially in voluntary
works. I agree with Chris.

To me, "Hello" and "Thank you" are quite under-used words on this list (in
the movement generally but particularly here) so I would prefer we didn't

Hoi,
The drawback is that not everyone has the inclination to read everything on
Meta as well. At some stage it is just too much. By insisting on silence,
the silence may become overwhelming and it increases the notion that this

+1 from me too, and to not be spammy myself, I'll add:
one very appropriate way to do welcomes and thanks is *on-wiki*. Notes
welcoming people (or announcing new boards etc.) should, as a matter of
habit, include a wiki URL (the user's page, or the affiliate's page, etc.),

As a mostly silent reader of this list, I'd like to spammingly +1 this
