I don't believe that introducing a category of "expert users", in |
| 24 |
addition to developers and users, makes much sense. What mark would |
| 25 |
distinguish the gentoo-expert list from gentoo-dev on the one hand, |
| 26 |
and gentoo-user on the other hand? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Generally I think that our mailing lists should be defined by topic |
| 29 |
and not by target audience. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
So, how about this instead: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
ᚠ᛬ Do the changes proposed in points 1., 1a. and 1b. from above, but |
| 34 |
only for the gentoo-dev mailing list. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
ᚢ᛬ Revive the gentoo-council mailing list and move all council related |
| 37 |
business from -project to there. The same rules as for -dev would |
| 38 |
apply to -council, i.e. 1., 1a. and 1b. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
ᚦ᛬ No changes to the gentoo-project mailing list. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
This would still keep gentoo-dev free of trolls, and at the same time |
| 43 |
(re-)introduce a clean communication channel for council related |
| 44 |
postings. |
