<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">To chime in as a lurker around here, this sounds good, but why add the security list? It seems like security specific topics would interest those subscribed to the general list as well.<o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think there are two options:<br>
<br>
Option A1:<br>
<a href="mailto:openstack-general@lists.openstack.org" target="_blank">openstack-general@lists.openstack.org</a><br>
<a href="mailto:openstack-operators@lists.openstack.org" target="_blank">openstack-operators@lists.openstack.org</a><br>
<a href="mailto:openstack-announce@lists.openstack.org" target="_blank">openstack-announce@lists.openstack.org</a><br>
<a href="mailto:openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org" target="_blank">openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org</a><br>
...<br>
"openstack-general" makes it clear this is about general questions and<br>
things that address the whole community. This would be a straight<br>
replacement of the current openstack@launchpad mailing-list.<br>
<br>
Option A2:<br>
<a href="mailto:openstack@lists.openstack.org" target="_blank">openstack@lists.openstack.org</a><br>
<a href="mailto:openstack-operators@lists.openstack.org" target="_blank">openstack-operators@lists.openstack.org</a><br>
<a href="mailto:openstack-announce@lists.openstack.org" target="_blank">openstack-announce@lists.openstack.org</a><br>
<a href="mailto:openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org" target="_blank">openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org</a><br>
...<br>
Same, using "openstack" instead of "openstack-general". Makes it clear<br>
it's the "default" list.<br>
<br>
Option B:<br>
<a href="mailto:openstack-user@lists.openstack.org" target="_blank">openstack-user@lists.openstack.org</a><br>
<a href="mailto:openstack-announce@lists.openstack.org" target="_blank">openstack-announce@lists.openstack.org</a><br>
<a href="mailto:openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org" target="_blank">openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org</a><br>
...<br>
"User" would be a merge of the current list with the operators list. The<br>
benefit is that it matches a recognized pattern in open source project<br>
lists (-user, -dev, -announce). The drawback is that there is no default<br>
list for newcomers or general discussion, and operators-specific topics<br>
will get lost on the -user list, the same way the dev topics used to be.<br>
<br>
Personally, I prefer option A. On one side you have a general list where<br>
almost everyone lurks, on the other you have several topic- or<br>
team-oriented lists with sharper focus. One issue is that it's difficult<br>
to spot important things on the (noisy) general list, but we also have a<br>
(moderated) -announce list that we can more actively use for things we<br>
want to make sure everyone sees.<br>
<br>
Any other option ? Which one do you prefer ?<br>
