here it is: http://groups.google.com/group/git-users
Is it clear to everyone here that splitting a community does not

it stronger?
One interesting point is that the current list might have *too much*
discussion. I hesitated to join for quite a while in case I couldn't
keep up with the traffic (and yes, it's hard to keep up with the
traffic :))
From that point of view, perhaps "making the community stronger" is
not the goal at all. Perhaps a valid goal is to fracture the
community so that more people can participate in a community in the
first place.
Have fun,

I agree with that. For me, each day this group shows 200+ topics
when I
opened Gnus. I think this could be divided into two groups, one for
git-user and the other for git-devel.
This is missing the point slightly. If you ask a question on this
list now it will be read by a lot of people who know git intimately
and will help in very short order. These are the people who come to
the list for other things (development discussions, patches, etc). If
you split the group these people will not see your questions so they
won't get answered. How does that help the community or make it
stronger? It might well fracture the community into two groups: One
that is now free to get even more development done, and one that
never gets any of its questions answered!
That said, this list is very high traffic. If you want to reduce that
why not filter out all mails with things like "[PATCH", "[BUG]", etc
in the title and you'll just about have your git-users list!
Cheers,
Rob
