Just the domain on the lists? i) Distinct domain, better branding, separation of secular and corporate. ii) Ability to control lists from within the project, instead of being beholden to a sponsor's overworked IS team[1] iii) Creating a public website request methodology to allow people to form e.g. international, language, or other topic based lists more easily. There still needs to be a level of IS-type control from within Fedora, we don't want to be the SourceForge of any-mailing-list-you-can-dream- of. This idea was in response to seeing people wanting to open new mailing lists but not knowing what to do. I'll bet that I'm one of about 15% of Fedora involved Red Hat employees who knows how to request a mailing list. Why should I be the gateway to mailing lists? Anyway, it's an idea that I am still mulling over, I'm not all decided or nothing. - Karsten [1] By this I mean, _every_ IS team is overworked. :) -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Content Services Fedora Documentation Project http://www.redhat.com/docs http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject
