Do you think that user is second class citizen ? Clearly, one list for just
developers where you can talk about internals and hidden stuff. Second list
is for users to share user knowledge, answer user questions. But no need to
talk about internal representations whatever. Of course developers can be in
both two lists. What is unclear on that difference ? I will be rather second
class citizen than to dig through tens of emails every day. People will
leave such list with unnecessary developer info.
If you want "users" to commit patches then write the document about
internals of gschem, pcb. Make schem and pcb simply buildable on both Linux
and Windows. Without figthing with obscure guile package etc. And document
it how to do that (last year I did not even succeed to cross compile PCB on
Linux to play with GCode generator. I asked here and nobody helped how to
build PCB. So I simply gave it up).
And hope that somebody will have spare time after work and growing kids.
Is it still unclear why moving developer conversation to dev-list is better
?
You want more users, right ? Give them features, give them bugs fixed. No
real user is interested in development chat.
