Issue notifications in the mailing lists
 
|
Hi all,
Why is the issue tracking system sending messages to this mailing list? Wouldn't it be better to have a second mailing list for issue notifications, so that moose-dev does not receive so many messages? We can always discuss here the issues that are worth-discussing, just by forwarding emails from the "issue notifications" mailing list to here. Just in my humble opinion.

Hi Alberto,
This is a development mailing list. The issues are forwarded here because they are worth discussing from a development point of view. For those that are not interested in the development details, I now created a google group for a user mailing list: - webpage: http://groups.google.com/group/moose-user-group - mail address: [hidden email] Cheers, Doru On 7 Feb 2011, at 12:35, Alberto Bacchelli wrote: > Hi all, > > Why is the issue tracking system sending messages to this mailing list? > > Wouldn't it be better to have a second mailing list for issue notifications, > so that moose-dev does not receive so many messages? > > We can always discuss here the issues that are worth-discussing, > just by forwarding emails from the "issue notifications" mailing list to here. > > Just in my humble opinion. > > Alberto > _______________________________________________ > Moose-dev mailing list > [hidden email] > https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev -- www.tudorgirba.com "There are no old things, there are only old ways of looking at them." _______________________________________________ Moose-dev mailing list [hidden email] https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev |

I personally like the current setting. You can always filter out the mails you do not want to see

Alexandre and Doru,
I see your point, and I see many other open source projects mixing issue notifications with the real development mails, thus corroborating it. However, I would say that the best setup would be using two different mailing lists, because many of the issue notifications are not informative at all (e.g., "Issue #x fixed.") and you get a wrong idea of how much "real" discussion is going on the list. Other projects, such as ArgoUML adopt the multi lists approach. For example Argo has these lists: org.tigris.argouml.announce org.tigris.argouml.commits org.tigris.argouml.dev org.tigris.argouml.issues org.tigris.argouml.modules-dev org.tigris.argouml.users I've seen development mailing lists without discussions but with 2000 emails per month generated only by the issue tracking system. If this will be the case with moose-dev, (and many of the emails are really generated by the issue tracker) I would try to consider something different from mailing lists to coordinate. In any case, this is my opinion, and it's up to you to decide. Of course, I can always filter emails out ;) Thanks for reading.

Hi Alberto,
I understand your concern, but these are all development issues and this list should be about development. Furthermore, the thing is that the traffic is too low to split it even further for development purposes, and when we had it split the tracker was hardly used and we ended up forwarding issues to the mailing list every time. I like the current setup better for the current amount of mails. For issues related to using Moose from a user perspective, now we have the user group mailing list. I think this would do it for the time being.
