Re: Suggestion: New Guile mailing list


I think we need to be sure that the membership of guile-devel would be
significantly different  from that of this list.  There were only a couple
of complaints about the set! discussion.  More people in fact complained
(strangely) about the *lack* of traffic over Christmas than about set!.

I for one am an almost 100% lurker, but I really enjoyed the discussion
about set!, and the ongoing gc discussions.  I find that listening in on
discussions like these is the way that I learn fastest about how Guile and
Scheme work.  This is irrelevant, however, since I will be free to join
guile-devel if it is created (I hope!).  My point is that I suspect that
almost everyone on this list will join guile-devel, so is it worth a
different list?  The convenience of the few who don't want to hear about
guile-devel has to be weighed against the convenience of the many who would
have to manage duplicate messages on two lists.
