I'm a newcomer to the maillist fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx,
just after only one day subscription, now I got scared,
by such a high traffic in this list, over 50 topics in only
one day!
That's too many for me, I just want to get some smell
of the buzz in the community in my spare time, maybe
there's no such people/job, but justimagine there's a
guy who has the job to monitor this maillist, he has to
process one topic with an average of 10 mins. not mention
the number of message in each topic and the mind-switch
between quite a few topics. that's a terrible work!
Therefore I think this mail list should get splitted up,
to several more specific lists, and people can freely
choose with list he/she want to subscribe.
and question makers can also post his question
to a more appropriate list to get a reply more quickly.
Or maybe some rules should be setup that some
certain questions should be posted in the fedoraforum.org
instead of herein the maillist?
On another side, does such high traffic here means
linux still has too many problems? I do think so,
And it's also a problem that to get a working environment
people has to do, to learn too many OS related stuff.
but the fundamental should be that OS is just a platform
which help us to work, to make sothing, and to bring us
efficiency, but not a big part ordinary user should care a lot.
I believe the linux community has a huge amount of users/
developers, but we have so many distros, also for each
single app we can have several choices; again, but each of
them is not easy to get usable quickly, every user, geek or
regular user, need to do some work to get it to work, and
for each alternative we may have to different things or in
different ways to get them work.
Is Linux too free to create so many incomplete variants?
should we have a centralized community like Eclipse one?
just look at the great conquence the Eclipse community
has bring to the Java world and to the industry.
