Subject: RE: [mylar-dev] Fwd: My 2 cents about Mylar development
I think this is something that needs to be considered for
Eclipse projects in general. The newsgroups tend to have very
user-oriented posts, and the mailing lists are intended for developers of the
Eclipse projects/components... but integrators are left somewhat out in the
dark. Depending on the project, newsgroup posts are occasionally
responded to, but they tend to get lost in the sea of user posts, and since
most of them are in eclipse.platform, questions&answers about specific
components (team, for instance) are lost among all the other components.
I'd love to see mailing lists (or even a newsgroup) geared more specifically to
people integrating with the various eclipse projects, and the various parts of
the platform. I've seen specific development questions posted to
various dev mailing lists, and they generally get responded to with something
to the effect of "This is for development of the ____ component. Go
post on the eclipse.platform newsgroup."
The Mylar team (Mik, Eugene, Rob) have always been very good at
responding to integrators' questions on the dev list, from what I've
seen. Other projects aren't always so good at this, though. Places
for integrators to ask questions about specific components and projects is
something that needs to be addressed for Eclipse projects in general.
My 2 cents. :)

I have been thinking that in addition to the Users Newsgroup
(the standard Eclipse use medium) and the mylar-dev list we need a mailing list
specific to Mylar Integragors so that they do not need to be bogged down with
internal dev specific issues but have a forum more technical than bug
reports. Will post a proposal on that soon.

…
I think, that you guys have all
the rights to duke it out on devel list. The problem is that there is no users
list, so if somebody is interested
in Mylar and it is not contributor, or it is just external from time to time
developer, this tone can be intimidating. Therefore creating users
list, where people can freely discuss not only programming, but also usage/UI
issues might make a lot of sense.
