Hi all,
I'm new to the devel list and fedora in general, but i was wondering if
these kind of back and forths between a few people is a frequent
occurrence. I came to Fedora to volunteer what little spare time I have
to help the Fedora project in some little ways. I don't feel that should
include wading through dozens of emailed back and forths between
individuals who seem to have strong, immovable opinions, I just don't
have time for that.
Welcome to the club of all the "silent" contributors!
Usually I try to follow discussions if they appear relevant or
interesting to me, but once they "tip over", I mark that thread as
deleted and mercilessly nuke everything new that comes in.
Yeah, I might miss some important information, but it's unlikely tbh
once you are 20 replies deep into a thread.
On the other hand: I don't want to spend all my free time reading
emails.
So, if you don't care about a specific topic: just ignore & delete it.
Btw, this list is imho still pretty moderate, only the occasional
controversy causes a huge thread of replies (and people manage to stay
civilized and tend to bring in new arguments). There's other lists
(unnamed to protect the guilty) where the signal to noise ratio is much,
much worse.
Is there any chance there is a moderated list or discussion group about
current project tasks and issues rather than debates about how to do
things? Or perhaps, a way to turn off certain threads or block certain
posters?
Thanks for your time and info you can provide.
