Hi Rami,
there already are 13 mailing lists. To be honest
most are dead silent which of course is not so good. On the other hand it also
isn't that good that main cores mailing list is so active. However I prefer to
read a lot of emails than to have empty mailbox all the time. ;-)
So if you have to post an email that is
more suitable for some other opencores mailing list, send it to that mailing
list. I think it is ok to cross post original email but replies should
definately go only to one mailing list (the one in To field of original post).
For all those general posts to main cores mailing list - try not to send off
topic emails. And of course we try our best to filter all the advertising junk
spam mail.
And to remain sane - don't try to read all emails.
I've seen people that tried to read all the email on linux kernel mailing list
and had quit their job just to keep up with that mailing list. :-)
Just to remind everyone - you can also read mailing
lists via web forum and post there. This way you don't have to receive all
emails in your mailbox.
regards,
Damjan

Subject: [oc] Too many email, a
suggest...
Hi
everyone,
What a traffic!! I
was offline from 12/11 to 19/12, and when I want to check my emails. I found
more than 280 email from/to [oc] group only. This mean in average 8
emails/day. The emails are for obviously different people and projects. I was
frustrated because I can't read all of these emails. I have to set in front of
the screen for hours to filter which subject in which I am interested and then
try to read those filtered emails. To be positive and active, I have to reply
for some interesting mails, follow links, and try some coding. This is a huge
work. Other choice to delete all previous emails and begin from today, and I
will lose the up-to-date benefit.
I can't believe
that all members read 8 emails in average every day from OC only plus
some emails from others.
This is a big
traffic and I see that we reach the point that some more redirections should
be made by the administrators. I suggest that each project (at least
big-traffic projects) to have its own mailing list on OpenCores. And make [OC]
mailing list for general issues and new project suggests. If anyone agree with
this, please inform the administrators to make this important step in the
OpenCores history.
Best
wishes,
RAMI
