You may in fact wish to subscribe to gentoo-project after all, as there |
| 12 |
are a lot of people (myself included) hoping the traffic on -dev goes |
| 13 |
down by at least 50%. I'm seriously hoping there'll be few non-dev posts |
| 14 |
to dev, as while IMO non-devs should be free to post to -dev, it should |
| 15 |
be development-technical only. I hope peer pressure forces that, with a |
| 16 |
simple reminder that -project gets everything else, for any violators. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
IOW, both your post and mine should now be going to -project (I expect to |
| 19 |
be subscribing shortly). Ideally, there'll be little reason for us to |
| 20 |
post to dev, tho I hope it remains such that we can. If it works, |
| 21 |
there'll be little reason to go further with that moderation proposal. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So, unless you plan on being read-only on Gentoo discussions, I'd suggest |
| 24 |
you do subscribe to -project, and strongly consider posting much of what |
| 25 |
you've posted here in the past, there. That's what I'll be doing. If it |
| 26 |
fails to work that way by peer pressure, it's likely to end up almost |
| 27 |
forced that way, and I really hate to see that happen. |
