Subject: (OT) How to follow a mailing list with very high activity (like this one here)?
Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2014 21:28:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CF74A68C.1C7DB%Elwood151@web.de> (raw)
This is off-topic, but I hope that someone can give me some good advice:
During the last years, I'be become a real org-mode fan and I want to stay
current and be active in the great org-mode community.
I've subscribed to the orgmode mailinglist about 1,5 years ago and so I have
>17.500 mails in my inbox.
You really have to be organized very well to deal with so much information!
Is there a tutorial somewhere for good approaches, how to participate in
such a list (without doing it as a full time job)?
IMHO, there must be some process like:
Review each new topic
-> if interesting/relevant mark it to follow what happens,
-> else if not interesting/relevant, then ignore the following posts.
The interesting stuff should also be stored to be available later for
reference...
How do you handle that?
Are there tools which make such a process easier?
Up to now I just used my old mail client Microsoft Entourage 2004 on OS X
for storing those mails.
Kind regards
Martin
