Re: [eclipse.org-committers] What is appropriate use of this list - intr

[David Carver <d_a_carver@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm going to have to agree with Ed on this whole thing about the use of 
this list.   I typically subscribe to email distribution lists on 
individual topics I want to be informed about.   The issue for me is 
that  as a Committer I need to stay subscribed to this, but unless it's 
something really really important from the foundation then it becomes 
noise to me.   I already have enough mailing lists from eclipse in my in 
box, and get enough email from day to day work activities that it 
becomes a hassle to wade my way through what I deem not important and 
then have to delete.

Personally, I like the newsgroup idea but realize that not everybody can 
get access to newsgroups because of corporate rules, it's the one down 
fall to newsgroups.   I would support a separate mailing list that was 
called eclipse.org-commiters-discussion or 
eclipse.org-committers-announce that we could subscribe to or 
unsubscribe to.  

Give the committer a choice in what they are subscribed to and what they 
want to listen to...If i really want to follow something via the 
newsgroup type polling, I can go out to the web interface and view the 
archives.
