Just a reminder, Bug #181368 is the bug I filed for the -project ML over a month |
30 |
ago. I just updated it with a suggestion that -project not be required |
31 |
subscription for new devs, just that new devs need to be informed of both its |
32 |
existence and purpose (this was left out of my original submission). |
33 |
|
34 |
Those interested may want to add themselves to the CC list to track any |
35 |
developments that happen there (assuming the fire doesn't spread). |

As for the rest of this....thread..., mayhaps it would be wise for Council and |
40 |
Infra to postpone the moderation idea for a few months? (let 2007-2008 council |
41 |
handle the matter) As this really isn't the kind of thing we should be pulling |
42 |
during a council/trustee switch out (just look at the size of the thread). |
43 |
|
44 |
@Infra |
45 |
In what may be appropriately considered a vain attempt to end this thread, can |
46 |
we just go ahead and create -project, and give it a few weeks to see what |
47 |
happens? Worry about -dev and moderation later on. |
