Re: [cosmos-dev] Rush Hour Traffic [[DON-->READ THIS]]

[David Whiteman <David_Whiteman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On other projects, the email lists tend
to be for committer & design discussions, and the newsgroups for user
questions.  Given that we don't have an established user community,
the newsgroup has been quiet.  We could move some discussion to the
newsgroup, but I'm not sure how you would determine which kind of info
belongs there vs. the email list, unless it has to do with how time-critical
it is.  So maybe we do design discussion on the newsgroup and notices
that everyone needs to see on the email list?  We could also look
at creating multiple email lists or using subject line triggers to help
categorize the messages if we just stuck with the email list.
