Attention KDE mailing list owners!

January 3rd, 2010 justin

Back when I was first getting into contributing with KDE one of the places I started out was attempting to find the right mailing lists to follow.  In doing this I noticed there were a TON of lists out there.  As I started to look into this more closely I also realized that a large number of lists were outdated or never even used.  I had grand plans of fixing this and helping to cleanup unused lists but unfortunately life got crazy and this project sort of fell by the wayside…until now.

After some further discussion with the Promo team and the SysAdmins I’ve decided to do one more final review to see what looks to be currently out of date (mainly because I last checked back in July).  Anyone who is currently a list owner, you may be hearing from me in the coming days if your list appears to be unused.  I’ll simply be looking for confirmation of whether you agree and if it’s OK to remove your list or not.  If you manage any lists that you know aren’t needed anymore and want to notify me up front to remove them that’s even better!

    I would dearly like to see news://news.kde.org rather than having to rely on gmane (the nntp-email gateway). Opera and Mozilla (for example) have their own news servers with the hierarchies opera.* and mozilla.*.

    What’s about the kdevelop-mailinglists?
    They use their own server and domain, that’s confusing. There should be a link to this mailinglist and a forwarding address like kdevelop@kde.org.
