Hi,
Taking this to a new thread.
Thoughts on getting a new list started up ? Should it be centos-sysadmin or centos-infra ? Are we going to then restrict it to admin/infra related chatter ? in which case, does the eyeball density on this list reduce for that sort of content ?
The problem with starting a new list is just exactly that: You split the audience and have less exposure on both lists. Everyone then needs to subscribe to two lists instead of one to "keep up with stuff".
How about the politics and news stuff that gets posted to this list. And how would those things be addressed with the new admin focused list ?
My personal opinion is that it's not a big deal. As with other mailing lists, stuff I'm not interested in I simply ignore.
Even though it's not directly on-topic for this list, I personally find the WP thread interesting. We don't need another Slashdot on a mailing list, of course, but it's not out of hand yet in my humble opinion.
Of course, if others see a need to start another list then I'm perfectly happy to tag along and join up with that one, too.
