Mike, As a new person just getting acquainted with FGMLUG as well as with Linux, I do appreciate being exposed to the issues discussed by the more experienced members. It also provides me the freedom to ask more basic questions. Using GnuCash user and developers lists as an analogy, the more open and basic user lists is most helpful to those starting out. The "heavies" use the developers list to reflect the technical issues that developers have to discuss. There is a continuing effort to keep the two separate, but anyone can sign up for either or both. Having more information available tends to support interest and member involvement in my opinion. I suggest your original summary of the lists be placed on the web site if it is not there already. As far as use of the lists goes, why not keep everything out for all to see, except the discussion that Board members need to evaluate proposals and freely explore all sides of a prospective change or adding something new. Since only Board members are on that list, their discussion would be private.

Is it your position then that all discussion of software and hardware should be confined to the LUG list unless a specific application to FGM and the warehouse is evident? Would this include LUG announcements? General discussion of software used in the warehouse? Should general chatter between volunteers be allowed? Does anyone have any comments or suggestions? -----Original Message----- >From: Chuq Jackels <chuq00@xxxxxxxxx> >Sent: Mar 2, 2010 7:27 AM >To: fgmlug@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: [fgmlug] Re: Lists, what to post where? > >I believe that Tom requested that anything not directly relating to FGM and >the warehouse to go to the lug list aside from info that needs to be on the >dev list. > >Chuq > ** This list is PUBLICLY archived. ** PLEASE don't post personal or sensitive information unless you wish for it to be in the public domain.
