I haven't been able to find them at all since the group moved which is a shame since there was a lot of good material... I was hoping Scott had them ...
The old group was (inexplicably) renamed cli_dev, so all the old threads should be under that name. This is a brand-new group created yesterday (or the day...
... How, the new group serves exactly the same purpose as the old one? ... I will and have, but having two groups for the same thing seems bonkers. There was a...
For what it's worth, I anticipated this type of thing happening when all of the different groups started popping up, so I just signed up to them all and set up...
bonkers or not, they're administrated by different individuals (as far as I know), so there's really no way to keep them in sync, unless somebody's got a lot...
... I thought about that at first as well, but the more I think about it the worse it sounds. I feel like this is one of those problems that you end up facing...
Oh dear oh dear, just when I thought the old list was becoming fruitful it gets renamed and now we have another list to go with it...crazy. ... like...
The reason for this list is to keep a lower noise ratio, less flames and try and keep alive an alt.net community that leaders of the other list have decided...
I can definitely appreciate that, Sebastien. I think you've characterized it well, and since a stated purpose was to minimize the standard: "This is how it...
... OK now this I can buy into. Yeah I am worried that the people managing the other lists are not trying to foster a proper community, but then when you read...
Why is this a problem? What other practice or philosophy has only one venue of discussion? If you don't find one (or either) of these groups contain content...
It's a problem if I want to find someone's post that only went to one. It's the same problem that RSS was invented to solve. I don't want to check dozens of...
... one. ... to ... to ... There isn't one place for ALT.NET. There's the wiki (and the other wiki), the blogs (including purse fight), etc. This is all...
I do want to clarify one thing before I drop this thread of conversation, and that is this: the barrier for just picking up a blog, reading it for awhile, and...
... I think because we're on a low bandwidth medium (as old Scott would say), it can be seen that way and we should all work towards making sure it is not. The...
I think I was missing the point, so to speak, because I'm not looking for any of these lists to be authoritative. (I don't even know what that would mean, to...
... Agreed, it's a sad side-effect of the split. But with the same filter on your email client for both lists, and if you already have the time to follow ...
... I'm totally behind this. I do think there is some confusion when you have a post addressed to multiple lists, but hopefully we'll grow out of that one way...
I think in general cross-posting should be avoided, but that's just plain netiquette. I personally wouldn't mind setting down a few set of principals we want....
It would certainly be nice to have a URL that you can point people to, particularly if it's on a wiki. People are welcome to argue as much as they want on the...
If everyone is happy with a wiki being setup, Id be happy to contribute my company's resources to host it, register the domain etc. Depends on what people...
There's no need to duplicate the effort of the wiki altdotnet.org has, I don't believe the mismanagement of a mailing list should result in a split of anything...
I was sort of assuming this would end up on the altdotnet.org wiki. I'm not sure I see a real need for a list-specific one at this point. If the need arises,...
