20 I think this is a good idea. If the only thing that goes on -project is
21 flame wars then the list will die and all the flamewars will just come
22 back to -dev...
23
24 I'd think that anything non-technical related to the gentoo distro that
25 is at a high level should probably go on -project. That might be a
26 place to announce council agendas, council nominations, this email
27 thread, etc.
28
29 Some seem to be of the mind that -project should be mainly for stuff
30 that no developer would want to look at anyway. The problem with that
31 is the whole reason that stuff gets posted to -dev is that people want
32 to interact with the -devs - so the traffic will go wherever the devs
33 are. If you want to keep -dev on technical topics then the interesting
34 non-technical topics will have to go to -project so that the list is
35 taken seriously. Otherwise all the noise will just be back on -dev....
