We have three public mailing lists for ICE, but what if
someone wants to just send something to an inbox and not join a
list? We have found over the past few years that many users
prefer a single project email instead of a public list.
(Government types, you know. Most of the time we end up
forwarding their letter to the list!)
Alternatively, what if we want to CC an email address on all of
our bug reports that is not a list but we all have access to?
What if someone wants to email us a question that they don't
feel like putting on a public list like "What can I do to use
ICE in my proprietary project at company X?"
Certainly we could just use my email address for these things, but
that is not appealing for a variety of reasons. Ideally we could
have a single project inbox that we could all monitor for these
communication edge cases. So we created eclipse.ice.project@xxxxxxxxx
because we thought that we could only get mailing lists through
the Foundation.
Ah, now I understand. I personally dislike all those forms of
private communications, largely because they are almost always
completely unnecessary.
I am sure that this is not a unique requirement to ICE. How do other
projects handle this?
P.S. I do not understand the "...what if we want to CC an email
address on all of our bug reports that is not a list but we all have
access to..." use case. Why wouldn't you just use the mailing list
so the discussion is archived?
