Renaming bigbluebutton-dev to bigbluebutton-users

[Richard Alam]

Hi,

I will be swapping this mailing list with bigbluebutton-users and
bigbluebutton-users will become bigbluebutton-dev. Seems like google
allows me to do this.

This list has had an increase in traffic asking for
installation/configuration questions.

I'll do this over the weekend.

Any objections? Recommendations?

Richard

Are dev and gsoc questions still allowed here after the change?

I think this may be needlessly complicated.  Plus, won't it break all the links that we previously had linking to threads?

We should just keep encouraging users to switch posts to the correct list.  It will be an ongoing process, but there's never a guarantee that people will post to the right list.  Also, we may want to add a block to the project homepage that discusses the different lists and their purposes (ala http://wicket.apache.org/community.html)

When looking for answers and topics i always search DEV group to find
the related threads, when you switch group names the old threads will
all now be in USER and nothing in DEV...

So you would have to search both places for awhile when looking for
tech info if you changed.

You guys are great at answering everyones questions and i know its
time consuming for the DEV group...

If you just refused to answer any install,user questions in dev and
just posted PLEASE POST IN USER OR SETUP GROUPS i think they would
eventually all get the point and migrate there questions there.

regards,
Stephen

P.S. 0.64 is working great on my servers, and the api additions
really open up BBB's potential.

Yea, changing the names would just cause a lot of confusion but I don't think it would change anything. People who are subscribed to the list will keep using as they are right now, and much of the discussion here is not appropriate for bbb-users

I'm just going to start being very strict about telling people they're posting on the wrong list. If everyone else can help with this that'd be great

Ok...based on the feedback...we won't be changing the name..we will
just point people to send questions to the other mailing list.

One thought though:

What if we have a convention to put "categories" in email subject.
That is, if the question is about installing we put [INSTALL] in the
subject just like having [GSOC] in the subject now.

Here's some categories:
- INSTALL or CONFIG
- DEV
- USABILITY
- SECURITY
- BUSINESS

I think that covers it. Instead of signing up for different mailing list.

Any thought?

I think we might be able to try to use that convention internally, but most of your threads are initiated by those who are not frequent on the list - and there's no way that you will be able to get them to use the convention.

In OS mailing lists, having separate lists for things is the norm.  I think that if we include a nice summary of what each list is for on the homepage, then people will mostly post to the right list.  And if they don't, we just redirect them to the right list.  After we get some traction, it will work fine.  The Wicket lists that I'm on rival this one in traffic, and we have two: dev and users.  It took a little while to get everyone used to the first division, but after they were used to it, we don't really have problems now.
