I suggest creating a newsgroup dedicated to only bug reporting
|
|
(comp.os.linux.bugs}. This was highly successful in the alt.sys.amiga.uucp
|
|
groups. The advantages are obvious
|
|
|
|
Bugs and soluations are seen by everyone who needs to.
|
|
|
|
Newsgroup extraction can be automated; news posts could have a specific
|
|
format.
|
|
|
|
Traffic is moved away from the main newsgroup
|
|
|
|
The newsgroup could be moderated if desired.
|
|
|
|
Inappropriate items, or items that are really FAQs are still visible.

I would *strongly* second this motion.
|
|
|
|
Another (major) advantage to the new group - it would help to keep the
|
|
volume on the Linux-activists mail channels under control, so that
|
|
they could be more useful as channels for development discussion as
|
|
originally intended, not as help forums as they currently seem to be
|
|
heading.
|
|
|
|
Can anybody remember when the last split was voted? I think that the
|
|
6-month limit between split votes is due to expire pretty soon.
|
