Lately, I've had a few emails that I thought would have been of interest
to both lkml and also to general@lists.openfabrics.org. I've held back
on cross-posting them because I know that general@ is subscribers-only,
and the bounce messages are quite annoying to replies coming from lkml.
The general@ list is subscribers-only because the openfabrics.org
sysadmin team is already overworked without trying to keep an open list
spam free. (I say that with no intention to criticize the
openfabrics.org admins -- they do a terrific job of keeping things
running with the limited resources available; it's more a testament to
how impressive the vger mailing list admins are)
I've also noticed one or two messages about the possibility of moving
another moderated list to vger. Certainly I prefer open lists that
don't require subscriptions to post.
So with that background, what would people think about creating an open
vger list (say, linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org) to carry the discussion
currently on general@lists.openfabrics.org? (The transition plan would
probably be to keep the general@ list for a month or two, with frequent
announcements of the new list, until archives etc. have caught up with
the switch)
Thanks,
Roland

The one question I would have would be do the kernel.org people want to
see all of the traffic that we currently have on the open fabrics
general list for all of the user-space components?
I do not think it would be good if we had to have one list on vger for
kernel work and another one for all the user-space work. Other than
that, I do not really care where the general develop list is hosted.
my 2 cents,
woody

It's there, ready and waiting, should you choose to use it :-)

I don't believe there's any problem with that. vger already hosts quite
a few lists that are userspace only (eg git) or span user and kernel (eg
alsa and kvm). And in any case the total traffic (# of subscribers, #
of messages) that the current general@ list generates is pretty minimal
compared to what vger already handles, so I think there's no problem
with having a linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org carry everything that
general@lists.openfabrics.org does today.

It seems we only had positive responses to moving from general@ to a new
linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org list, so I'll work on a transition plan.
For now, please continue to use general@lists.openfabrics.org. However,
you may want to subscribe to the vger list to be ready for the
transition; for information on that, see http://vger.kernel.org.

Thanks again... how do we get archive links added -- is it manually?
Right now we have http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rdma/
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org/ should be up
once the archive@mail-archive.com subscription is approved (probably by
you too :)
Thanks,
Roland
