Hi,
Thanks to Alan for pointing out this very old list. I definitely think
it should be decommissioned.
I also like Tim's idea of having an auto-responder.
Since there have been no objections to removing this, I will proceed
with doing that.
Next week the forum will be removed and an auto-response set up on the
mailing list that will remain in place for some amount of time to help
people transition. When Michelle has a landing page in place, the
auto-response can be changed to point to that.
Thanks.
Bonnie

For some reason, people keep sending bug reports to the opensolaris-bugs

Is it time to remove it so that it's more obvious it's not a useful
way to
report a bug?
Probably remove the forum, but as for the mailing list, I'd say keep it,
but set it up with an auto-responder that informs the original sender
how to log a bug via the standard mechanisms.
The reason that list/forum exists is b/c when we first launched the site
b.o.o. was very limited in how many categories it could support and
there was no installation of bugzilla. It's basically an artifact of an
earlier time.
We can definitely remove it, so long as it's not filing a gap between
b.o.o. and bugzilla.

- yes I know that information is likely on a website somewhere, but some
people respond better by to being told what to do via email, rather us
expecting them to take the time to read up on how to log bugs properly.
cheers,
