[eclipse.org-committers] Committer list open...

[Jeff McAffer <Jeff_McAffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As you may know, the eclipse.org-committers
mailing list was recently "de-regulated".  That is, it is
no long a moderated group.  The mailing list membership is regenerated
every night from the Foundation's records so this list is a way of speaking
directly with the current committer community.  So why am I telling
you this.  Well, in effect, the committer mail list is an untapped
resource.  How many of you have had something new you were doing and
were unsure where to advertise to find other projects that are interested
or affected?  Or thought that there must be something in Eclipse addressing
a certain problem but had no real way of finding out?  Given the scope
of the committrer list, it is a perfect forum for such news and questions.
 Eclipse includes a vast array of interesting an powerful infrastructure
bits but our real value is in the combination of these bits to solve problems.
 Open communication and cooperation between projects can only further
enhance the value and usefulness of Eclipse.  The eclipse.org-committers
mailing list is one way of fostering that interaction.
