Hi, mark hat gesagt: // mark wrote:
I am not massively convinced that this is such a good idea - the traffic on this list seems fairly low to me and having to subscribe to and manage three separate lists seems like a lot of extra hassle.
I made a quick check, how much mail I got from various mailing lists in this year, and pd-list is somewhere in the middle. I got most traffic on "debian-user-german", around 6.1 M gzipped, this was followed by, sic!, "csound" with around 3.8 M gzipped! Of pd-list I have 1.9 M gzipped mails in my archive 2002 and this is about the same amount as linux-audio-user (LAU) and linux-audio-dev (LAD) combined.
So I'll have to admit, that pd-list now seems to be on par with linux-audio-dev had they not split off the linux-audio-user list!
But it's nowhere near csound, where people talk about everything from "Stockhausen: genius or a*hole?" to "patch for new function table generator".
I'm not sure, what policy is best. I had been an advocate for the creation of the LAU-list on LAD, but I also like the wild discussions and the merging of developers and users on e.g. csound.
So I force my vote to be:
Don't split pd-dev and pd-users, but make an anouncement-list
