One thing that we are often blamed for is trying to stifle conversations
and to discourage people from commenting / contributing / encouraging
conversations. And that cant be further from the truth, really. We are
all pro-community ( and when I say we, I mean everyone - including the
contributors, developers, admins, users, abusers and hey upstream too ).
However, one thing that does get in the way, often, and something that
we all feel creates a higher 'noise' ratio is conversations on this list
about semi-related stuff, but not something that directly contributes to
the general users of CentOS. Conversations that specifically address
four areas:
- technologies
- best practices
- deployment strategies and tools
- management strategies and tools
And to better cater to these conversations, as well as further encourage
such content, we'd like to propose creating a 'centos-tech' list.
Over a period of time, we would like to see the CentOS list become a
more user help and distro specific list, with generic conversations
moving to the centos-tech list.
Hi
I understand the eagerness to lower the "noise" ratio, but I think
creating another list is not the solution, it will simply create an
extra work for the people in the list "centos" in the sense that you
will have to keep reminding people to use the "tech" list, or saying to
newcomers that should sign for the "tech" list.
Noise is the side effect of the success of the project CentOS. As the
project grows, more people will be joining the list, and there will be
more noise.
In my opinion there aren't much "off-topic"/noise in this list.
