As an interesting aside to that, they also have unexpected lists open. For |
| 7 |
example, I was able to subscribe to what amounts to the XFree bugs list, so I |
| 8 |
hear about all Debian's problems with X-related things. |

Take a look at Debian's mailing lists sometime; here's the developer's list |
| 11 |
page: http://lists.debian.org/devel.html. One important thing to notice is |
| 12 |
the *-private lists, clearly demarcated as closed to the public. There are |
| 13 |
only a couple, but they exist and they are documented as being closed. It |
| 14 |
might be interesting to search through their archives and see what |
| 15 |
discussions have come up and how (if?) they were solved. |

Note the similarity of our -dev and -core lists with these: |
| 18 |
debian-devel: Development of Debian |
| 19 |
debian-private: Private discussions among developers |
| 20 |

I'm not presenting Debian as a model in any way, merely an example. Just a |
| 22 |
couple of things to think about. |
