There are sometimes quite interesting details mentioned in the OT threads. A -discuss list would be a good place for those, without cluttering -general. (yes, i'm being an optimist here ;-).
Opening dev-public would take some serious manpower. I see a little advantage but quite an investment (manpower, not financial). Better leave it as-is.
This is Arch, after all. Someone could just start a community-supported-and-maintained arch-unofficial-discuss list. Might be a good way for those who want to contribute but don't have the technical skills needed by devs/TUs to actually do something Arch-related. It would need to be clearly labelled as unofficial, and marketing that list would be tough, but the benefits are:- a) devs/TUs not distracted from their primary roles b) community involvement AND if it actually gains traction:- c) a place would exist for non-technical discussion (above and beyond the IRC) Of course, if such a list was unmoderated and became a flame fest most would just unsubscribe, but if too heavily moderated noone would be interested as well... good luck =)
