Relating to IncubatorV2 and pTLP proposals - on Apache Commons I seem to have spurred a discussion about making sub-mailing lists (And thus forming sub-communities) - but keep the formalities on the general list.
(email below) http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/commons-dev/201501.mbox/%3C23d5b03fc1cdb4079ceb52c55458f0e3%40scarlet.be%3E My slight concern (even though I would benefit from the proposal :)) is that this is in danger of forming a "mini incubator" with less clear guidance and follow-up: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/commons-dev/201501.mbox/%3CCAPRnXt%3DDwqk9p-b-yYBYRnrp%3DanvLgdTanMkenLfm6fGQgcHfw%40mail.gmail.com%3E The pTLP proposal has not mentioned what would be the process for projects with a sponsor different from Incubator (e.g. which don't aspire to become TLPs) - presumably they would usually have mentors from and report to the parent project? I don't see any proposals with "Apache Commons" as the sponsor at http://incubator.apache.org/projects/index.html .. is that because Commons already have a lightweight entry path with its sandbox? https://commons.apache.org/sandbox.html ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gilles <gil...@harfang.homelinux.org> Date: 16 January 2015 at 00:47 Subject: [ALL] Too much traffic on the "dev" ML To: Commons Developers List <d...@commons.apache.org> Hi. In the discussion that started about RDF, it seems that the traffic volume is a stumbling block. [For some time now, it has been a growing nuisance, and the usual dismissal about filters won't change the fact: Setting up a filter that will redirect stuff to /dev/null is a waste of bandwidth.] If different ML are created, people interested in everything can subscribe _once_, and nothing will change for them. For people who spend a lot of time just deleting dozens messages and notifications a day, it will be a relief. Maintaining community conversation is not a problem: just create an "all-...@commons.apache.org" ML for things that need input form a larger audience (like votes).
