I wonder if we should consider some list renaming.
People consistently post to uportal-dev with questions that are about
them "developing" their portal. Look at the list name, think about what
those people are doing, it's really not a stretch. "uportal-user"
sounds like it might be for people to learn how to login, move portlets
around, etc. "uportal-dev" sounds more reasonable when I need to ask a
question about how to write a new portlet for my portal.
I wonder if we should have names that help make the distinction between
"development of the core framework services" and "development and
configuration of portals using uPortal" better.
For example, what if "uportal-dev" was renamed "uportal-framework" and
"uportal-user" was named "uportal-admin". I don't really like the name
"uportal-admin" but you get the idea. It just feels like the names we
currently have will continue to cause us trouble, because they do not
match well with the intent of the content to be posted to them, at least
from a new-user-to-the-community perspective.
