For the majority I'd say it would be so. It was meant to be a forum for all problems pertaining to programming on openSUSE and so encompasses all programming languages.
The traffic is so low on opensuse-programming that it wouldn't hurt to close all other programming language specific lists and direct them to opensuse-programming.
When we get to traffic in the volume of comp.lang.c we can talk again about splitting up, don't you think?
I believe that the creation of new ML about python programming language can have a positive impact on the growth of their community. So many people are talking about "low traffic". Yes, you are right, but anybody ask himself about the reason of that? Look at the opensuse-ruby and opensuse-java MLs and compare the number of topics with the python-topics in opensuse-programming. Do you really believe that we have more ruby or java developers than python? I think they just uses another MLs, like me, because openSUSE hasn't one. Look at connect.opensuse.org: Ruby group - 11 people (has mailing list) Java group - 8 people (has mailing list) Python group - 28 people (has NO mailing list) Actually that's no problem to use another MLs for me (and for another, I guess), but the question is... do we want to leave it as is, or maybe we can try to change it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
