<td valign="top">Hi everyone,<BR><BR>I think that we have recently reached critical mass for the<BR>openstack-dev mailing-list, with 2267 messages posted in October, and<BR>November well on its way to pass 2000 again. Some of those are just<BR>off-topic (and I've been regularly fighting against them) but most of<BR>them are just about us covering an ever-increasing scope, stretching the<BR>definition of what we include in "openstack development".<BR><BR>Therefore I'd like to propose a split between two lists:<BR><BR>*openstack-dev*: Discussions on future development for OpenStack<BR>official projects<BR><BR>*stackforge-dev*: Discussions on development for stackforge-hosted projects<BR><BR>Non-official "OpenStack-related" projects would get discussed in<BR>stackforge-dev (or any other list of their preference), while<BR>openstack-dev would be focused on openstack official programs (including<BR>incubated &
integrated projects).<BR><BR>That means discussion about Solum, Mistral, Congress or Murano<BR>(stackforge/* repos in gerrit) would now live on stackforge-dev.<BR>Discussions about Glance, TripleO or Oslo libraries (openstack*/* repos<BR>on gerrit) would happen on openstack-dev. This will allow easier<BR>filtering and prioritization; OpenStack developers interested in<BR>tracking promising stackforge projects would subscribe to both lists.<BR><BR>That will not solve all issues. We should also collectively make sure<BR>that *usage questions are re-routed* to the openstack general<BR>mailing-list, where they belong. Too many people still answer off-topic<BR>questions here on openstack-dev, which encourages people to be off-topic<BR>in the future (traffic on the openstack general ML has been mostly<BR>stable, with only 868 posts in October). With those actions, I hope that<BR>traffic on openstack-dev would drop back to the 1000-1500 range, which<BR>would
be more manageable for everyone.<BR><BR>Thoughts ?<BR><BR>-- <BR>Thierry Carrez (ttx)<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>OpenStack-dev mailing list<BR><a ymailto="mailto:OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org" href="javascript:return">OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org</a><BR><a href="http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev" target=_blank >http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev</a><BR></td>
