I'd vote for proposal 1 but can also live with solution 2 -- the fedoraproject.org domain name in the list name is nice, but not worth moving everything (I'm probably not the only one that has to adjust a lot of procmails rules after such a move -- yes, thats easy, but still annoying). I don't like 3. But while we are talking about maillinglists I'd like two propose two other things: - Remove the stupid "Repy-To" munging that currently happens on a lot of lists. It seems to confuse a lot of people. See also: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html - I think we should add "devel" to the name of these lists: fedora-desktop-list fedora-tools-list fedora-config-list No, this is not important, but it avoids confusion for the users. With "devel" in the name it's obvious that this is for devel discussions. Yes, there will still be people that don't get it, but that will always happen. These lists are quite in any case -- do we still need them? Just my 2 cent. -- Thorsten Leemhuis <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
