What about the plan to move alsa-devel to vger? Shouldn't we do that soon?
Jaroslav hasn't yet pointed alsa-devel@alsa-project.org at vger. It's a little unfortunate that David wouldn't just transfer subscriptions as it seems that's where things stalled again. Given our still recent move from sourceforge it really should be okay to just move everyone over.
I noticed that the entirety of people thanking David for setting up the list consisted of alsa-devel moderators, you and me, and I suspect most other subscribers don't feel there's actually much wrong with things as they are today and mostly consider moving again a nuisance. The one other reaction to the move was a slightly annoyed reaction about the re-subscribing...
I'm playing with idea to redirect alsa-devel@alsa-project.org to vger and leave current mailing list (which is subscribed to vger now too). So every e-mail to this list will go through vger, and resubscription will be only choice of subscriber. Opinions?
A couple of things:
- the official address (on kernel tree and wiki) should be vger, not alsa-project.org, and promote to re-subscribe.
Changing e-mail address of list is something I don't want. The official e-mail address for alsa-devel mailing list was always alsa-devel@alsa-project.org (even in time when this list was on sourceforge). Unfortunately, vger mailing list does not accept simple redirected e-mails from alsa-devel@alsa-project.org so I postponed any actions.
- open alsa-project.org list again. I'll stop list admin works.
I tried to count some statistics and at the time spamassassin and mailman filtering rules catch 92% of spam messages coming to alsa-devel. Unfortunately remaining 8% means 20 spam messages daily (without moderation). Could moderators confirm this value?
