Hallo, IMO the moderated Arch general list became a good list for technically issues and for briefly and succinctly objective discussions. This shouldn't change. First I didn't like it, but now I can see the advantages of such a list. What IMO is missing for Arch Linux is a separated mailing list for longer, subjective discussions. I'm aware that this is possible using the forums, but for my taste a mailing list is more comfortable to use. I wonder if there's an interest for such a mailing list and if somebody has got the knowledge and is willing to set up such a mailing list. The international Debian mailing list is free for longer, subjective discussions, but there anyway is a separated list, for completely off topic discussions. http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic There's no need to have a list for absolutely OT discussions for Arch Linux, as there is for Debian, but perhaps I'm not the only one who does like to get an Arch Linux mailing list for longer, subjective discussions. This comes into my mind, when I read a statement about the policy of Mint, thread: "Fully wroking GTK3(+GTK2) theme for Gnome 3.8?" E.g. desktop environments require sometimes discussions that IMO don't belong to Arch general, but there perhaps is the need to compare notes. What do you think about an additional mailing list for discussions that are OT for Arch generell? Regards, Ralf
