[RkWard-devel] Mailing list(s)

[Thomas Friedrichsmeier]

Hi all,

I've been thinking about our current mailing lists a bit, and I'd like to 
propose these changes:

1) Add a list "rkward-users". This list is for discussion among users, help, 
feedback. The main point is to create a list with a less "scary" name than 
rkward-devel, to signal it's really ok to post usage issues to the list.

This list will also receive calls for testing and release announcements, but 
not all the other development noise. Active developers should generally be 
subscribed to rkward-devel *and* rkward-users.

2) Allow posting to rkward-devel for subscribers, only. Relevant posts from 
non-subscribers will be approved liberally. This is just to limit the number 
of spam messages coming through (and yes, the same hole would be opened again 
in rkward-users, but at least those subscribed to both lists, will not 
receive twice the amount of spam).

Of course this means, there will have to be manual moderation. It would be 
much appreciated, if one or two people could volunteer to do some moderation 
(i.e. sort out the spams, approve mostly everything else).

Comments?

Regards
Thomas
