My apologies if I am insisting on this, I promise
this is the last time I raise this question here...

Quoting from good old http://www.mesa3d.org/doc.html:

Appropriate subjects include: 
Mesa installation problems 
Suspected Mesa bugs 
Mesa performance issues 
Mesa hardware questions 
Announcements of applications using Mesa 
Announcements which may be of interest to Mesa users 

Inapprorate subjects include: 
General graphics questions 
General programming questions 
General OpenGL questions  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I really understand the need to keep the noise/signal
in this list as low as possible, however less experienced 
OpenGL/Mesa programmers should have a mailling list to 
discuss OpenGL/Mesa questions without feeling guilty... 
none is obliged to subscribe, none is obliged to post...

A word with SGI to clarify any issue related with people
posting general OpenGL questions could be wise, of course...
perhaps we could remove the OpenGL word from our vocabulary
in that list and call it only Mesa, if they wish so...

Have a look at this page, it shows the mailling lists for
Gnome and Gtk libraries, these lists are the engine,
the key for the Gnome/Gtk sucess:

http://www.gnome.org/resources/mailing-lists.html

I am not saying that we should have all these lists,
but definitely I think we should have a list where people
could post general OpenGL questions in a Mesa environment.
