During the conference and also before in communication to developers I very often heard the argument that they don't read opensuse-factory because it's so high traffic.
Some 20-30 postings a day about things that developers should know about is a high traffic? Even main opensuse ML is not more very high traffic. It is a jiffy to go trough messages and mark threads as ignored. Currently I have only few messages to read in all lists I'm subscribed to.
I agree. What will happen when we split the list in others is that instead of one list not being read by the developers, three are not read by the developers. There are already so many mailing lists for openSUSE that it becomes hard to select which one. Ignoring a subject is very easily done. And with the amount of differnt mailinglists, you force people to subscribe to many of them anyway. As a user it is anoying that if you go somewhere people tell you all the time: you should go the KDE list and there they say: that is packaging and then they say: Factory. I am also amazed by the fact that some developers do not read any of the openSUSE mailinglist at all and at the same time complain that there is no feedback from users. houghi -- We all came out to Montreux Frank Zappa and the Mothers On the Lake Geneva shoreline Were at the best place around To make records with a mobile But some stupid with a flare gun We didn't have much time Burned the place to the ground -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
