Re: [Xen-API] [Proposal] Additional mailing lists for specific purposes
I think Ian''s proposal makes sense. There is no real need to have a pre-fix, I raised this because it seems to be convention with debian and many other projects. Personally I don''t like xen-... xenproject-..., etc. Let''s wait for a couple of days and see what else comes back and then I can make a concrete proposal for voting. I also need to check with timescales on the domain change.
