there we come back to the problem of
parallel channels. I
think it is important if you add content to a page
that you tell why
this is listed. My impression was that these things
were already
discussed but now my impression is that this list
does no represent
the discussion about these topics. So somehow
discussion and the list
seemed to have gotten out of sync? Well this should
never happen,
because this will lead to serious problems when
people are relying on
the wikis content.
Personally I would like to suggest to discuss some
issues on the wikis
primarily - and if some results of a discussion are
added that then
this is mentioned explicitly (best with source like
email-url in
mailing list)
We've been mostly using this list for announcements,
calls for help, and requests for comments when the
wiki seems quiet.
So it's a sort of meta-channel.
just plain stupid that one has to subscribe and
follow dozens of
mailing lists and ALSO the wiki.
Each time I work on a new set of docs, I have to go
and subscribe to yet another mailing list & get more
crud in my mailbox.
I agree with all your points about mailing lists, but
it's a wider discussion about how we communicate
across gnome -- it's out of the scope of this list so
you'll have to... subscribe to another mailing list.
And then deal with the flak, because who knows why,
but programmers seem to love mailing lists and teeth
may need to be pulled. But hey, drag them kicking and
screaming in the the 21st century age of the pull
medium.
