I think I can handle this question... No :-) What happens when the Apple list goes down (again) and the wonder list is "retired"? Single point of failure. > When I have to start a topic I don't know where to post. If it's purely WO, use the Apple list. If it's a question relating to ERAnything, use wonder. Don't crosspost. > What is the sense of webobject-dev on apple or wonder-disc on sourceforge ? My sense is that sourceforge is free, so take advantage of it. The Apple list... well, Apple treats us like they'd prefer we all go away, so I wouldn't depend on theirs. But at the same time, it is the Apple list, so it can't be ignored. > We are a very limited number of people, I think merging mailing lists would > only be a benefit > > Thanks > Amedeo You might think so, but then wiping out long standing resources can have negative effects too. Before the wiki was moved to wocommunity.org, I could go to Google and search for: useful eclipse plugins, and the objectstyle wiki page on that was the # 3 in the result list. That had to be good for WO exposure. Now I have to google for: "useful eclipse plugins" to get the same page on the wocommunity wiki and it's down at number 6. Without the quotes, we don't even make the front page anymore. I suspect a lot of links around the web broke when the move happened. Likewise, there are lots of sites like markmail out there tracking both lists and that's good if we like to be found by casual Googlers.
