[uf-discuss] Mailing list debate moved & new proposal

I imagine that there'd still be one or two "main" lists and the others
might have bursts of activity, but mostly they'd just sit around
empty. Given the overheads for both admins and users, the less email
lists to faff around with the better...

I do think the general chatter also increases the chances of
cross-pollination, ie. getting people to jump in on a thread rather
than hoping they'll sign up to an entire new email list.

cheers,
Ben
