Creating lists is easy but that doesn't mean they will be used, and
oversight of multiple lists is a burden (for comdev? or which PMC is
in charge of them?). And scattered discussions don't help building
communities.

What if someone has a question on streaming for IoT devices used in
Big Data contexts? Cross-posting to 3 lists is a guaranteed mess and
you'll often forget that other list which would also have been
interested.

I strongly suggest starting with a single tech@ list with [subject
line tags] as mentioned earlier in this thread, and create more lists
*only* if there is too much traffic on a given topic.

[1] has more info on why we like busy lists as opposed to multiple ones.

It is certainly a question of balance, but I was hearing "it's easy to
create lists so let's create several that nobody really asked for"
which is scary ;-)

But maybe it's just my perception - I'm not opposed to creating lists
provided someone is willing to take care of them.

I've heard of this tech@ list, but never subscribed. I just went looking 
for it, to see what traffic was like, and it is not listed on 
lists.apache.org . Is this a theoretical list, or an actual one?

We can have both. And if we can have only one thing I'm in favor of the
project category list that Chris suggested.

If we have one huge list it'll just mean more mails etc., people having to
set up filters or skip over stuff they are not interested in.

I can imagine a single bigdata@ list to be super useful for coordination
between all those scattered projects: <
https://projects.apache.org/projects.html?category> (hadoop has its own
category there, a bit confusing)

Yes, that can be requested.

A bit more work for contributors up front, but less work for moderators.

To forestall questions, I recommend explaining the choice (and why it
was made) on the page that advertises the list.

Hi Bertrand,

There was a discussion about subscription only lists ... is that possible?

But I think if I sign up as moderator for c) I would probably start writing a moderation-bot 
as soon as I get more than 2 moderation emails with the same title in the payload: 

-> decline all of them __

    You can setup any poll or vote that works, I'd say
    
    a) no new list
    b) create a tech@a.o list that's expected to be used with
    [subject][line][tags] only

You can setup any poll or vote that works, I'd say

a) no new list
b) create a tech@a.o list that's expected to be used with
[subject][line][tags] only
c) create an iot@a.o list

Keep in mind that the comdev PMC will own any new list, so you'll need
volunteers to moderate them. I would volunteer but for b) only ;-)

I Bertrand,

Well I still think that I personally would rather sign up to an
iot@apache.org mailinglist than to a tech@apache.org one.
So I guess we'll just vote on it ... do we have 2-way votes? 

Sort of:

-1: No: don't want any list
+T: Yes, but want a tech-list
+I: Yes, but want an IoT-list

I cannot remember that - I pointed to Stefano's Law of Busy Lists as a
reason to create a single tech@ list as opposed to multiple ones for
smaller audiences.

Hi Bertrand,

Your link took me to a post about splitting lists because some list is busy, but AIUI, this proposal for iot@ is to communicate between related projects.  Does the ASF have an example of a cross-project list that failed?

Hi Bertrand,

For me it looks as if tech@ would be one huge list ... 
and the amount of emails of interest to me would be only a fraction.
Having named topic lists would help focus. 
It would allow to skim the topics and react on the ones of interest.

Guess a tech-list would just feel like being on one of those project lists,
Here they do most discussions in guthub pull-requests and who's mailinglists 
have almost no emails of interest anymore or I just can't find them in 
between 10000000 of bot emails.

Re: Introducing lists based on the overall project categories?

Hi Chris,

I agree with your suggestion and I see a real need for that.
I am active in multiple projects / podlings in the iot ecosystem and there are many people not knowing what others are doing and there is very few "glue" between these projects.
This is a pitty, as it really helps to get a bigger picture of whats happening under the apache umbrella in the iot world (as its quite a lot).

I really liked how eclipse handled their iot project and spend effort on bringing their seperate communities together.

It is certainly a question of balance, but I was hearing "it's easy to

which is scary ;-)

But maybe it's just my perception - I'm not opposed to creating lists

Hi Bertrand,

But I think in this case we get another general list without any focus. I think this would prevent people from subscribing. For me it wouldn't be that interesting subscribing to a list that generic. A specialized list would lower the bar for subscribing, I think. And after all, the main purpose of such a list is helping the inter-project knowledge transfer - at least that was the reason I proposed it - so it could even be restricted to committers ... Don't think we need another super-user-list, and if we want one, that would be a totally different topic (at least for me)

Creating lists is easy but that doesn't mean they will be used, and
oversight of multiple lists is a burden (for comdev? or which PMC is
in charge of them?). And scattered discussions don't help building
communities.

What if someone has a question on streaming for IoT devices used in
Big Data contexts? Cross-posting to 3 lists is a guaranteed mess and
you'll often forget that other list which would also have been
interested.

I strongly suggest starting with a single tech@ list with [subject
line tags] as mentioned earlier in this thread, and create more lists
*only* if there is too much traffic on a given topic.

[1] has more info on why we like busy lists as opposed to multiple ones.
