RE: [eclipse.org-committers] [Survey] What is appropriate use of thislist ?

After bringing this up at today's Architecture Council Meeting [1],
and in line with the tendency seen in the Survey [2], I have requested
creation of a new mailing list via bugzilla [3]:
 
    eclipse.org-committers-announce
 
to which all committers are auto-subscribed, and which is exclusively
used for foundation announcements.
 
The existing committers list should be re-interpreted as a medium
for free questions and discussions among committers. This acknowledges
the need for creating more of a Committer Community, since the recent
discussions have shown immense benefit from the original questions. It
also acknowledges the fact that a mailing list works quite well for such
discussions, and that many committers may have an auto-filter for this
list already (and popping announcements into their inbox is likely less
disturbing).
 
I'm not in favor of allowing committers to unsubscribe from the committers
mailing list, even if it is just a free discussion medium. Committers are
encouraged to use their own E-mail filtering tools instead.
 
Interested parties may follow bug 250320 [3].

Subject: [eclipse.org-committers] [Survey] What is appropriate use of thislist ?

Dear committers,

I created this site to sum up the opinions of those of you who took time to express themselves about "What is appropriate use of this list ?"
http://sites.google.com/site/eclipsesurvey

On this site, you will find the survey (still active so feel free to submit), and an embedded version of this spreadsheet ( with charts**, because we love charts as much as screenshots : )

For the moment 60 people have answered : about 6.5% of this list - which is not very representative ( I had to point this out ).

I will also add the additionnal proposals in a near future.

Kind regards,
Guillaume
PS** : Charts are in Flash, I'll also add pictures version to let anyone view them.
PPS : I created a new thread to be sure to let everyone participate ( even people who filtered the previous conversations )


Dear committers,

I read a lot of good proposal so far and I would like to get everyone's opinion. To make this debate more democratic I created a little survey so everyone could express its opinion without ruining the entire list : )

Please just fill in and submit this small form : http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pCgo2kAzvX4tD8JbVQNhkLg&hl=en

You could view the results here : http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pCgo2kAzvX4tD8JbVQNhkLg
and even subscribe to the changes in your favorite RSS reader : http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/pCgo2kAzvX4tD8JbVQNhkLg/od6/public/basic

I'll make a summary of the survey to let you know what *you* think about all that.

I hope this e-mail to be valuable to the entire community and express my apologies to people fed up with this thread.

Kind regards,
Guillaume
