Personnally, I can't see why people would post to such a list rather than to the newsgroups. Moreover, I'm afraid that if discussions are not kept in one common place (and the newsgroups should be that primary place), some people might miss something, and some topics may be discussed twice without progress. For instance, there's been a discussion about appliances for the full dev kit on a list. I was really interested in this topic, but could have missed it if I hadn't subscribed. Now, if someone posts about the same topic on the newsgroups : 1) he'll start from zero, missing what's been said in the list, and 2) anyone who ever discussed the topic in the mailing list will be too lazy to repeat what was said. There's also been a discussion about whether to build up those mailing lists or not ; as it seems that people who didn't subscribe may have an interesting opinion about that, I'm starting it here too. (In fact, I guess that anyone who reads the newsgroups subscribed !) As I have no previous experience of mailing lists, I might have misunderstood something, if this is true please tell me.
