Hi,
There's really a lot of trafic here, and it's more and more diffcult to
me to follow development related threads in all the usage realted
threads.
How about splitting the mailing list in a user and a development list?

Your own vision of Org is probably that, so you'd subscribe to both list. I personally do not have enough time to care about users problems nor their features complaints for now, so spending time with developement subject only and not having to filter out usage related thread would make me gain an amount of time that I could spend on hacking Org. This is not something I'd propose on a low trafic list, but the number of mails here is getting bigger and bigger, and it's hard for me as a developer (and not as a maintainer like you) to just follow the stream of subject I am interested into (i.e. developement of Org). If some developers (like you) have more time to follow users subjects, nothing stop you to read both lists. At this point of trafic rate, not splitting is mostly killing people like me. :) -- Julien Danjou ❱ http://julien.danjou.info [-- Attachment #1.2: Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 835 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 201 bytes --] _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Even if we had two lists I would just add a filter tag like I do now and sort them all into the same tag (well, maybe, maybe not). Maybe the DEV channel should be something that you are invited to join with send access but anyone could have read access too. If a question in the user channel fit the bill it could be resent or re-proposed into the DEV channel? Maybe that's too constricted for open development? I agree, two channels so you can get what you want but they need to have reference to each other and at least a few people on both.

The development list wouldn't be very interesting without the intense interaction that it now has with users. The org list seems unique in this, at least for the lists that I have sometimes monitored. I take your point about the tags, however. No happy answer to any of this.

If we split the lists I would tag both with the same tag in my gmail box and read them all together, so it wouldn't really appear to be any different for me other than the people only reading dev tags or on the dev channel wouldn't see the user discussions.

I'm happy either way as I am interested in all org related emails. If split, I would see no difference in the end: the emails from the two lists would end up back in the same list for me as I use filtering (gnus splitting to be precise) to distribute my many emails automatically to their appropriate folders. However, I don't think the volume in this list is that large, assuming readers are using smart mail tools. Especially with threading, it's relatively easy to delete or ignore whole threads at once if they are not of interest. Not that I do that very often with org threads, mind you ;-) -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 : using Org-mode version 7.4 (release_7.4.553.g83b7.dirty) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 59+ messages in thread

I still say, of the lists that I have monitored (not many - I am a retired Law Professor with only a slight knowledge of software development) the Org list is the most interesting. It's just a personal preference - I don't see any decisive argument for any of the possible decisions on splitting the list. Whatever happens, many thanks to all the Org developers for some great software.

[Org] looks fine for the current list and if the dev list comes to pass it could perhaps get an [OrgD] tag (or even [OD]: overdosing on org is a good thing...)

If there is no distinguishing characteristic at this level, I have to resort to other methods just to see whether the email is relevant to me at this time (usually the author name is enough to classify the email correctly, but not always of course, in which case I might have to read (some of) the email to decide.)

The emails from this mailing list along account for 80% of my daily emails. With a tag and using gmail shortcuts, I can go down the list pressing j for next message and x to select it as I skim the titles to see if anything strikes me as of interest. When I have them all, I scan the senders and subjects once more to catch any accidental selections and then press # to delete. It would suck to actually read every subject to interpret it as mailing list or not *and* also be deciding if I wanted to open it. With the tag I just look for keywords like babel, beamer, lists, etc. to see if I think I'm interested. Mostly... I'm not. > > [fn:1] or [Org] or [O] - I would have preferred [Org] but I'm willing to > live with [O]. > Yeah, [O] seems weird to me even though there's nothing really wrong with it...

A core Org mailing list (including Dev posts) and a separate Org-Babel mailing list. It appears that a solid majority of the posts in the current mailing list are Babel-related, and this is a very distinct subset of functionality that could easily and cleanly be split into its own list.

Basically, at that time there was quickly some argument to drop [Orgmode] tag in the subject and try to reduce the tags to a certain amount. Basically, I can't see any logical reason to keep [Orgmode] since this is a org-mode list. Esp., nowadays people read mails on small screens on there mobile devices. E.g., the subject line on my android phone is nearly eaten up entirely by [Orgmode][babel], makes it very difficult to follow the list. Others argued they use it to separate quickly between different mailing list. Maybe shorten it to [OM] and introduce [DEV] to mark topics dev for development. However, I agree that splitting the list makes no differences to people who subscribe to both lists.

Let's stick to one list for now, and let's try to use the [DEV] tag for emails that only target development. It's not automatic and people will forget sometimes, but on the overrall this will improve the readability of the list, for both developers and users. Right now developers can already focus on emails with [PATCH] tag and on the patchwork here: http://patchwork.newartisans.com/project/org-mode/list/ Julien, I guess your life would be easier if you get push access to the Org repo and an account on the patchwork -- so that you can test patches and improve them if needed. Would that be okay for you? This decision is not carved in stone -- but I'm about to release Org 7.5 and I don't want to undertake a mailing list split in the middle of this process.

It may be too late, but I don't think it is an adequate solution. A banner isn't a signature, but now, they look the same, regexp wise. And as signatures are searched from bottom to top, the banner, being the first in that order, will be found first. Thus, now, the banner will be fontified like a signature instead of the real one. If you try to hide the signature, you will only hide the banner, and so on. Regards, -- Nicolas -- Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Yes, but the mailing list banner is not a signature. You will now have (by default) two signatures when replying, of which only the mailing list banner gets stripped by the MUA. Like this: > -- > Bastien ... and that should not happen. Somehow you also seem to have confused the mailing list software about the mailing list tag in the subject line: it doesn't correctly strip and re-insert it anymore on reply, so you get "Re: [O]" and "[O] Re:" and more variations on that theme. Last but not least Gmane hasn't caught on to that and now starts to show the "[O]" tag whereas "[Orgmode]" was always correctly stripped on the newsfeed.

I Hi Julien, No, I disagree with that. The two lists would have distinct compositions of the reader audience and that does have downsides. For example, - Those participating in a USER thread cannot rely to the same extent on DEVs listening, or as easily direct comments to DEVs, without messy cross-postings. DEV threads often start life as USER threads; that trajectory would be disrupted. - The probability of pure USERs learning DEV skills is reduced, since they have to actively seek the DEV list. I'm another one who came to Org as a USER with no abilities in elisp programming.

For example, I would also like to re-emphasize my disagreement with Julien's opinion. There is something to lose by splitting the list, as I mentioned in the main thread: the mixture was entirely useful for me, and *quite* pedagogical. I think the readership would be asymmetric in the case of a split list. Research in behavioral economics suggests people should be given sane defaults to prevent a harmful status quo bias. I don't think most users ever attempt to read devel lists. I'd also like to register a theory as to why users don't read devel lists, and why this works for some other software: devs condescend to handle user issues. Most open source software is created by people who need the tool for personal use. They aren't necessarily interested in your corner cases. For org-mode, this isn't the case; I've never felt anything but welcomed by the people who usually develop. A split list might also hurt this natural connection devs have with org-mode users. Relationships are *especially* important where there aren't market forces (read: price) to discipline developers into listening to users demands. That's the truth about any platform (two-sided) market with a zero price. This may sound admittedly contrived, and a bit pumped up in regard to the size of the effect. But there is a difference between small, noticeable, and highly personal changes and a "_no_ lose" scenario. Top-down policies have to be made with these small effects in mind, with an eye toward unintended consequences of a change. (Strawman alert. Begging Julien's pardon...) "But," Julien might say, "my concerns count just as much as yours, and I don't really like managing all this user mail." That is true. But you are a power user and have many tools at your disposal to automate mail handling. There is a relatively easy end solution. A top-down change messes with the community ecosystem. Future users' concerns should count for something, even if not a full measure. -- Jeffrey Horn http://www.failuretorefrain.com/jeff/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 59+ messages in thread
