I also want to know why we can't create/use a forum: It'll be more organized,
easier to seach, more categorized and more user frendly for new comers
So what do you think?

Subject: Re: [Xen-API] [Proposal] Additional mailing lists for specific purposes
Hi,
seems nobody has any views. How about I make a more concrete
proposal. I also noticed that we have no real global list for
voting and proposals (and to discuss issues like this). I have to
include all lists, which creates spam. As already indicated on the
blog, at some point we should move to @lists.xenproject.org, which
will cause some impact on mailfilters, etc. (similar to when we
moved from @lists.xensource.com to @lists.xen.org about a year
ago). So that may be a good opportunity to deal with some
inconsistencies that have grown over time.
It also raises questions about naming conventions for new lists.
Should lists be
- xen-...@lists.xenproject.org, or should they be
- xenproject-...@lists.xenproject.org
And then of course, should any convention be forward looking or
should we rename lists to be consistent and (as we are already
changing @lists.xenproject.org, changing the actual list name may
not be any worse).
On new lists, we will need lists for
xenproject-market...@lists.xenproject.org ... maybe
xenproject-public...@lists.xenproject.org hits it better than
marketing (seems to work for debian)
I need something for votes and discussions that cut accross
sub-project and teams. Maybe
xenproject-propos...@lists.xenproject.org or
xenproject-decisionmak...@lists.xenproject.org? Just putting
these into the room: none of these sound right to me. Maybe
xenproject-leaders...@lists.xenproject.org is better?
We will have a list for the advisory board, which wants to
be totally open and transparent. So this would be
xenproject-advisorybo...@lists.xenproject.org and I will post
minutes, etc. of the last meeting when we created the list.
xenproject-private, if we actually need it would work too.
However the advisory board recommended in the meeting last
week not to have any private lists at all. So maybe we don't
need this.
Also, for example XAPI does not have a separate dev or user list.
That is also one to consider at some point.
Anyway, I am just putting these into the room for discussion.

1) A list for coordinating blog posts, other communication,

From an outsider / lurker perspective, xen-market...@lists.xen.org is a
good fit.
2) A semi-private invite mailing list for ALL project leads,
committers and maintainers of ALL projects hosted on xen.org
Similarly to above: xen-priv...@lists.xen.org
Both of these list names are used in other projects I'm working with /
observe.
