This list is very very slow. Other Sourceforge lists I subscribe to are the same. I think a slow list makes possible participants less interested, ie. not interested at all. Should/can a new list be created? -Tomi |

Well, all sourceforge lists I subscribe to are not only terribly slow in rebroadcasting, but I see now from the archives they have no qualms with just plain missing messages. This is a reply to one such message I did not receive locally but can see on the archives page. All non-sourceforge lists I subscribe to do not exhibit this behaviour. I also suspect there is a difference in handling mail to regular list subscribers and non-regular list subscribers such as owner/admin. I would think my mail account is messed up, but this only happens on sourceforge lists, 3 out of the 12 lists I subscribe to. I've also experienced similarly annoying problems with other sourceforge features, so I do not exactly believe the problem is on my end. -Tomi |

But I do agree that the list isn't great. While SF has its problems (the 1 day delay on anon CVS being another) it's also been pretty reliable in the long term -- any one system administrator (and thus usually any one system) will work great for a while, but the administrator's attention will wane maintenance will slip. (Maybe in a weird institutional way that's what's happening with SF) Ian |
