Michael Richardson wrote: > I find this very counterintuitive. I don't really think that we need > endless support questions on what was the -devel list. Originally, gnats-devel was the only list that was suitable for posing questions, suggestions, or general discussion. True, the -devel implies that development related discussions predominate the list, and help- implies that help questions predominate. We really didn't have a whole lot of traffic on gnats-devel to begin with. If traffic picks up, most likely after the release of v4, you can always elect to start up yet another list for devel-only discussions. Personal preference would have directed me to make (keep) gnats-{devel,user,announce,cvs} lists instead of {help,info,commit}-gnats, but GNU seems to have a precedence with this naming convention. For example, it'd be a lot easier to find the gnats related lists at http://www.gnu.org/pipermail/ were they prefixed with the software name instead of the list topic. Regardless, a list is a list, and it's really not that big of a deal. BTW, I'm getting pretty excited to see GNATS v4 coming together! ;-) -- Chad Walstrom <chewie@wookimus.net> | a.k.a. ^chewie http://www.wookimus.net/ | s.k.a. gunnarr Key fingerprint = B4AB D627 9CBD 687E 7A31 1950 0CC7 0B18 206C 5AFD _______________________________________________ Help-gnats mailing list Help-gnats@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnats ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Yes, the list names must satisfy GNU conventions. And the consistency of the overall GNU mailing list names has a precedence over old list names of a particular subproject. CCW> For example, it'd be a lot easier to find the gnats related CCW> lists at http://www.gnu.org/pipermail/ were they prefixed with CCW> the software name instead of the list topic. OTOH you can find all GNU announcement lists in a single place. And according to the GNU conventions, the lists info-PROJECT and help-PROJECT should always exist if there are any mailing lists for PROJECT there at all.
