I would switch to a user's list in "two shakes of a lamb's tail" (I'm not British). The topics discussed in gdal-dev are mostly above my head. And the questions I have don't really fit here. A user's list would probably be a benefit for me.

As you're aware, many open source projects maintain both. There would be some confusion at first, probably, but based on those other projects, people would settle in to the right place quickly. The key question is who would maintain it, and who would answer user's questions? (Even has his plate quite full as it is).

I would say that the real-life experience is likely to be that no one knows or agrees what message should be on what list, people will post "on the wrong list" and be asked to repost, everyone will end up on both lists anyway and you end up creating an unnecessary (and strangely heated) discussion about who counts as a developer, especially in a relatively technical subject area like GDAL.

Personally, I would vote no. It should not be like this but I bet it would be.

Hi,

I heard and I see that that list it’s mostly for dev gdal users.

Would it be a good idea have a users (not developers) list?

 

It’s only a thought, an idea.
