I think this is something that needs to be considered
for Eclipse projects in general. The newsgroups tend to have very
user-oriented posts, and the mailing lists are intended for developers of the
Eclipse projects/components... but integrators are left somewhat out in the
dark. Depending on the project, newsgroup posts are occasionally responded
to, but they tend to get lost in the sea of user posts, and since most of them
are in eclipse.platform, questions&answers about specific components
(team, for instance) are lost among all the other components. I'd love to
see mailing lists (or even a newsgroup) geared more specifically to people
integrating with the various eclipse projects, and the various parts of the
platform. I've seen specific development questions posted to various
dev mailing lists, and they generally get responded to with something to the
effect of "This is for development of the ____ component. Go post on the
eclipse.platform newsgroup."
The Mylar team (Mik, Eugene, Rob) have always been very
good at responding to integrators' questions on the dev list, from what I've
seen. Other projects aren't always so good at this, though. Places
for integrators to ask questions about specific components and projects is
something that needs to be addressed for Eclipse projects in
general.
My 2 cents. :)

have been thinking that in addition to the Users Newsgroup (the standard Eclipse
use medium) and the mylar-dev list we need a mailing list specific to Mylar
Integragors so that they do not need to be bogged down with internal dev
specific issues but have a forum more technical than bug reports. Will
post a proposal on that soon. Mik From:
