All, I'm going to propose changing the netiquette to discuss open and closed lists. ie. The main user lists like this one to keep the no cross-posting netiquette, but the other lists to allow it and to open them up to non-subscriber posts if not already that way. I'm going to email that proposal to the -project list, because that it really where an actual change to the overall project guidelines should take place. If anyone wants to follow the discussion, they will need to subscribe to -project. If that causes any readers pain, you should join the discussion on -project and argue for cross-posting behavior to include this list as well. == more below On Thu, Dec 6, 2012 at 1:30 AM, Noel Butler <noel.butler@ausics.net> wrote:
As for keeping this post on topic, I don't care one way or another about cross posting, but if you cross post to lists you are not on, its your own stupid fault.
The issue isn't if the original poster is on multiple, it is if all the people participating are on both lists. I just noted that as we speak, there is a cross-posted discussion going on between opensuse-artwork and opensuse-project. == Re: [opensuse-artwork] Re: [opensuse-project] openSUSE 12.3 Wallpaper Contest The to: line is: "DuBois, Scott L." <ranger@roguehorse.com>, "Andy (anditosan)" <anditosan1000@gmail.com>, opensuse-artwork <opensuse-artwork@opensuse.org>, opensuse-project <opensuse-project@opensuse.org> == I think that is the right way to do it, but it is violating at least 2 of the netiquette guidelines as they currently stand. They are doing reply-all and cross-posting! fyi: If both -artwork and -project are open to non-subscribers, then this is actually a case of being in 100% accordance with the LKML netiquette and functionality. If there is strong opinion that the primary end-user support lists are kept closed and cross-posting against netiquette, I guess that is fine. Where I find it most valuable is with the more specialized lists anyways. The current netiquette entry (of 48 hours ago) says, so I'll take this discussion to -projecta nd see if I can argue effectively enough to get it changed there.
