RE: [Gamedevlists-brew] The new list

[Yang, Y. <yy...@ja...>]

I am wondering=20

1. If there will be a guide line for posting?=20

2. How the authority will be established (In BREW dev forum there are
moderator from Qualcomm and they have final say of any issue).  Are we
going to have somebody like this?

3. Is it legal to copy the posts from BREW dev forum here?=20

Ye

It occurs to me that this is probably going to be a pretty low traffic
list
since only people who know what they're doing are going to be allowed on
..
heh.

Guido,

I don't see any problems with quoting forum posts in this mailing list.
On the flip side, would you have any problem with us quoting this
mailing list on the forum?  I wouldn't copy/paste it verbatim, but I can
see cases where issues discussed here would be relevant to the BREW
development community at large.

Ye,

Regarding guidelines, there aren't many other than "apply common sense."

Don't quote millions of lines from previous posts, just the paragraphs
in=20
questions or so.

As for authority, well, evidently I will have the ultimate authority,
but I=20
do not expect to exercise this much. After all this is a mailing list
and=20
not a forum. I expect this to be a professional list run by mature=20
developers who know how to talk to each other. While I certainly
encourage=20
discussion, including disagreements of course, I will not allow
bickering=20
and personal attacks. If people get out of line repeatedly, they will be

taken off the list. Well, maybe I'll make an official FAQ write-up or so

sometime.

Since the Brew dev forums are open to the public I would believe it is
okay=20
to copy posts from there if they are of value or interest, especially of

course if they contain solutions or content that relates directly to=20
discussions on this mailing list. Any objections, Max or Nathan?

Guido

If it counts, I agree. :)

Also, like the BREW Forums, the archives of this list are (currently) 
available for viewing by anyone:

   http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=gamedevlists-brew

In both cases, it's always useful to include reference URLs when quoting,
if possible.  e.g.,

   "Over on the forums, someone said 'No, such-n-such doesn't work'
   (See: http://forums/url/blah/blah )"
