Re: [orca-list] scope of this list

[Thomas Ward <thomasward1978 gmail com>]

Hi John,

Personally I disagree with you. I know it seems logical to talk about
Ubuntu on the Ubuntu access list, Vinux on the Vinux mailing list,
general Linux access on blinux, etc however what most of us need is a
single point of contact where information can be shared with one
another without having to subscribe to 15 different mailing lists just
to try and get all of our questions answered. I myself am not a linux
newby, but if I were I wouldn't have a clue where to start unless
someone compiled a list of ask questions x on list x, ask questions y
on list y, and ask questions belonging to z on z list. That's just too
confusing. So if the Orca list isn't the proper forum or list for this
then perhaps we need to start up or point users to the proper list.

Cheers!
