Hi guys,
As most devs have done already, I'm going to change my relationship with arch-general.
What is the preferred way to contact you or other devs with questions or suggestions (better wording for an announcement etc.)?
We don't currently have a satisfactory answer to this question. Hopefully a solution will present itself soon, I know people are discussing the problem. After all, we DO want useful feedback, and there IS really good feedback inbeetween all the rest.
I guess important stuff should still be picked up by someone, alternatively you could cc the relevant dev (who e.g. wrote the news item, etc.).
You know I have been watching this really destructive war of attrition on this list for quite some time - and it is reminiscent of the long flame wars that occurred on the Fedora general list that led me to unsubscribe from the Fedora list and start looking at Arch as the distribution for my laptops. It was such a pleasure to see sensible posts and great and helpful replies on the arch list when I first subscribed to them. It only takes a few very argumentative individuals to destroy the civilised structure of such a mailing list and I hope that calm and good sense can return to the lists so that people can read and post good constructive discussions and move forward instead of backwards. I have grown to value so much that happens in arch, and the sensible approach to the way arch delivers its packages - I really hope that this can continue without big rifts between a few players. Arch has become one of the big distributions - hopefully it will continue to be so. -- mike c
