its understandable that -dev has more traffic + readers - we are a |
24 |
technical project :) |
25 |

in those kinds of discussions should subscribe to -project. -dev is |
28 |
(should be) expected to contain techical discussions. |

We shouldn't prevent them anyway. the nature of our project demands |
53 |
constant communication and sometimes emailing just won't cut it. |
