[Open-graphics] mailing lists

[Timothy Normand Miller]

We have open-graphics, open-graphics-commit (for SVN), and
open-graphics-announce.

We have generally planned on creating open-graphics-dev, but only
after OGD1 was out and the traffic volume warranted it.  At the
moment, the traffic volume is not too much; rather it is, in my
subjective opinion, not generally the sort of traffic that should be
on a dev or general mailing list, because it was not making meaningful
progress.  Or at the very least, a lot of the discussion was the sort
of thing that should be done off-list and summarized on-list.  It was
too noisy, and I had gotten private emails from a number of people
agreeing with me.

I think we should let this administrative discussion be put to rest as
well.  It's not always going to be fair, and there are lots of times
when something that's considered on-topic in one context is off-topic
in another.  Suffice it to say that the CPU-based graphics card
discussion should be taken entirely off-list until such time that
those involved come to a solid concensus on major aspects of their
design.  Moreover, those involved should come to agreements on who is
going to learn which technical skills that they don't yet have in
order to complete the design.

So, please.  Let's not talk about it on-list any more, starting now,
until the ideas have been baked quite a bit more.

Thanks.
