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

Before we go ahead and do this, I would like to take a straw poll to see if committers actually want such a committer newsgroup. I would personally welcome such a forum, but I think it's worthwhile to ensure it will get used.

 

If we get three +1's and no -1's, we will go ahead and set it up.

It sounds like the consensus is that eclipse.org should consider opening an 'eclipse.committers' newsgroup, and if they do that then EclipseZone will mirror it to a forum for web-based access.

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?
