I agree, Stef.  Part of the charm of the old Squeak-Dev list was the cross-pollination it encouraged.  Multiple lists are fine for organizing production but murderous to innovation.  There may be a benefit in identifying broad topics via subject [tags] but dividing them out has the feel of brainstorming by telegraph.

Subject: Reappropriating Squeak Dev :)

Hi all

I think that with all the different mailing-lists around we are  
losing the great communication of the old Squeak-Dev
mailing-list. I want to learn from other people: even if I do not  
understand anything, it happens to me to read
the VM mails, same for package, v3.9, janitors.....
I prefer to have a mailing-list with 40 mails per day than 4 with 10 :)

This is fun because I redirect all the mailing-list into the same  
folder :) squeak-dev so this is a sign.
So do I am the only one thinking that with all the mailing-list  
around we are missing a great opportunity to
learn, share, show that we are active?

So may be we should change and kill some of the mailing-lists and  
make Squeak-dev a place to communicate.

Stef
