As an interesting aside to that, they also have unexpected lists open. For example, I was able to subscribe to what amounts to the XFree bugs list, so I hear about all Debian's problems with X-related things. Take a look at Debian's mailing lists sometime; here's the developer's list page: http://lists.debian.org/devel.html. One important thing to notice is the *-private lists, clearly demarcated as closed to the public. There are only a couple, but they exist and they are documented as being closed. It might be interesting to search through their archives and see what discussions have come up and how (if?) they were solved. Note the similarity of our -dev and -core lists with these: debian-devel: Development of Debian debian-private: Private discussions among developers I'm not presenting Debian as a model in any way, merely an example. Just a couple of things to think about. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
