I expect we should first come to an agreement (as a PMC) on what the approach
should be (therefore, adding Sebastien). It seems Jean and I are
OK with the approach of growing component-level newsgroups organically,
while you advocate the creation of these newsgroups upon component creation/provisioning.
Ed, Sebastien... Thoughts?
Thanks,
Rich

Rich,
Bjorn seems to want agreement from the "PMC" (which I assume
must mean leadership since Jean and I are on the PMC but don't seem to
count). I propose that Jean and I decide what makes sense for our projects
and the PMC leadership backs us on that decision. I have already stated
my needs in my latest comment in Bugzilla, so if you and Ed could add comments
saying you're in ageement, we can start making the required changes.

It seems the EMO is interested in the opposite approach; that is, have
a
general newsgroup per project, and when it is evident a certain topic
(component) has enough interest, give it its own newsgroup. This
seems
sensible to me, although does raise the problem of requiring explicit
[topic] markers in subject lines in the main newsgroup. The good
news is
that the history will always be available if/when a new component-level
newsgroup is created (the old one won't be closed, as it's representing
the
project itself).
I'd say the Project Lead is most likely to know when it's time, and
recommend to the Foundation. I'm not sure it requires PMC intervention,
although we can certainly work with the EMO when required (like now).
Other thoughts?
Best,
Rich
