Now that I'm paying attention, I've seen 2 cross-posted threads in the last couple days. The -project/-artwork cross-post and a -packaging/-buildservice cross-post.
The second one even started with a intro sentence saying it was a cross-post.
So I assume both of those posters agree with me.
False assumption, posters may or may not have been aware of the netiquette.
For the proposal as it stands (ie. bifurcated netiquette for open / closed lists), only Patrick, Basil, and Carlos have been against.
So far vocal stands are still one for, one fence and three against.
But I argue that cross-posting on the specialty lists has been happening for years and that for at least the last 3 years the netiquette has not addressed it.
You know for a fact that the cross-posting statement was removed > 3 years ago? I cannot find history of the change.
I think the netiquette as I updated it in my first post actually captures the status qua and no one has been complaining until the last week or two when someone had the nerve to cross-post to the sacred opensuse@opensuse.org list.
Apparently that list is sacrosanct with traditions established before man discovered fire and is not open to change. The netiquette as I posted it preserves its centuries long traditions, but allows the specialists lists to continue as they've been doing the last few years.
The last two paragraphs are quite sanctimonious and not in your *usual* character, perhaps you would prefer to rephrase. Or not. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
