That is a very good idea. I have a few thoughts to add on to your idea. 1. Have the new ruby programmer list completely sepereate from the ruby-talk email system. 2. all mail gets delivered to thier list unless it is prefixed with the magic [RT] keyword - (NUBY) is just too harse mentally. 3- the filter picks out the [RT]'ed emails and delivers here, the replies to the [RT] emails get redelivered here and at the new ruby programmer list. You have a good idea, it just needed to be stretched out more. --David Ross --- Bill Kelly <billk / cts.com> wrote: > > There will always be some folks who think that all > > communication about Ruby should be through a > single central list. > > Here's a weird idea . . . > > What if the nuby mailing list was (behind the > scenes) just a > filter for ruby-talk ? > > So that all messages posted to the nuby list > appeared in > ruby-talk with [NUBY] or whatever in the subject? > > And conversely, only/all such messages so-prefixed > would be > delivered to the subscribers of the nuby list? > > (Such prefixes could even be stripped when delivered > to the > nuby list subscribers...) > > > Well - just a thought :) > > > Regards, > > Bill > > > > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
