Do you prefer to discuss the Ask site locally, or on the website list?

[qubit1]

There are a couple of different venues where we may discuss the Ask site, including

• The Ask site
• The website mailing list
• IRC (we don’t have a dedicated Ask-site channel)
• A mailing list for AskLibo (we’d need to set one up)

Topics that we might cover include

• Planning improvements or changes
• Discussing issues we’re having
• Coordinating with other sites/groups/people

Where would you like this discussion to take place?

OP: @qubit1

[Pedro1]

In a mailing list for AskLibO.

IRC requires that people are online simultaneously and AskLibO won’t keep a subject on-top so the discussion will not be visible for long (minutes?)

[qubit1]

@Pedro1 – Good points. I added your suggestion to the list. What are the benefits of a separate mailing list for AskLibo?

[qubit1]

I also turned my posts into wikis so that people can edit them directly.

[Pedro1]

Only 10 people have enough karma to edit it… My only argument for a separate list is that it doesn’t fit in any of the existing lists… Maybe create a Support mailing list and having a AskLibO topic is enough?

[qubit1]

@Pedro1, I like the idea of a separate mailing list, but until we have enough traffic to justify a new list, I suggest we use the website list. If anyone gets uppity about the volume of traffic or indicates that our chatter is off-topic for the website list, we can ask for a new list then

Pros/Cons of a separate list for AskLibo:

Pros

• Concentrate on the Ask site specifically
• Lower traffic
• Focused discussion
• Easier to get work done

Cons

• Separate list to maintain
• One more list to subscribe to
• More insular conversation/planning
