I more and more get the feeling that this mailing list sometimes does not work really well(¹). Seems especially community members seem to get frustrated by the discussions here afaics and thus don't participate anymore (²). Maybe it's in parts the usual "discussions on mailing lists don't work to well" problem, but it seems it's way more problematic on this list -- this sub-thread is a good example. Tibbs description above matches it quite well. I'd even take it one step further: "It's just incredibly difficult to have any reasonable discussion on FAB if people extract some parts (that are often not that important details or only slightly related to the whole thing) from a carefully-written message, forcing the initial poster into a endless discussions around it, while the initial topic and the problem that lies behind it gets forgotten or ignored totally." We need to change something. But I don't know exactly what to change. CU thl (¹) -- okay, yes, sometimes it works and is productive, but often it feels like wasted time (²) -- leaving the problem aside that certain important community contributors think they cannot even post to the list because they were not invited; I thus dislike the FAB-list more and more and think we should have 95% of the discussions we had here in the past on a open fedora-project-list in the future where everyone gets allowed to subscribe and post. If that becomes a problem over time due to to much noise let only contributors (cla_done) subscribe there and create a fedora-project-list-readonly for the rest of the world; members of the latter should still be able to post to the mailinglist if a moderator acks their post. _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board-readonly mailing list fedora-advisory-board-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board-readonly
