I want to suggest to stay with one mailing list, but also to introduce a
subject naming scheme, e.g.:
[DEV]		for development
[DISC]		for discussions
in addition to [ENH][UPDATE][GOODIE][BUG][FIX].

Then everyone can filter the eMails like he/she wants to...

Lets talk about an improved naming scheme instead of introducing new
mailing lists: If we had another ML, we also would have the problem to
decide which topic belongs to which ML.

Greetings,

Stephan

Most people enjoy the variety of coverage.  And speaking for myself, I don't have enough extra organizational energy to deal with three possibly overlapping mail lists about Squeak.  If you want a database of ongoing projects, a mail list is not the right medium anyway (see below).  Of course, I can be shouted dow
