RE: [eclipse-dev] Is there any interest in a committers forum?

I think you're on to something useful.
There is definitely a lack of coordination in areas such as build, testing,
and performance, which is something all project teams could collaborate
on.
However, this mailing list is for the
"Eclipse Project", which as the name implies (tongue-in-cheek)
is just the core SDK and not all Eclipse projects/committers.
BTW, why aren't GEF and other projects
shown on the eclipsezone forum?  Is Eclipsezone part of Eclipse.org
now, or am I thinking of something else?

Subject	RE: [eclipse-dev] Is there any interest in a committers forum?

My thinking was that people were almost afraid to
post to the main eclipse.org committer forum (this list) because it goes
out to so many (1000+) people. My worry is that committers can become siloed
into their own project-dev forums or user forums and lose opportunities
to collaborate and discover common goals and interests.

But in any case, the previous proposal is voted down.

New proposal: Same as before except gate it (2-way) to the eclipse-dev
moderated mailing list (this list).

The value add would be that you could read and post in a threaded web-based
view that supports attachments, watches, profiles, and RSS/Atom. See http://www.eclipsezone.com/java/forums/f18122.html
for an example of what it would look like. That particular forum is gated
to the user newsgroup eclipse.platform. (btw, http://www.eclipsezone.com/java/forums/c5605.html
shows all the newsgroups currently gated (with Foundation approval); we're
adding more on demand so send me an email if you want to use one that's
not there).
