Lately, I've had a few emails that I thought would have been of interestVery good initiative
to both lkml and also to general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I've held back
on cross-posting them because I know that general@ is subscribers-only,
and the bounce messages are quite annoying to replies coming from lkml.
The general@ list is subscribers-only because the openfabrics.org
sysadmin team is already overworked without trying to keep an open list
spam free. (I say that with no intention to criticize the
openfabrics.org admins -- they do a terrific job of keeping things
running with the limited resources available; it's more a testament to
how impressive the vger mailing list admins are)
I've also noticed one or two messages about the possibility of moving
another moderated list to vger. Certainly I prefer open lists that
don't require subscriptions to post.
So with that background, what would people think about creating an open
vger list (say, linux-rdma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) to carry the discussion
currently on general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx? (The transition plan would
probably be to keep the general@ list for a month or two, with frequent
announcements of the new list, until archives etc. have caught up with
the switch)
