It depends on the "shape" of your community. The rationale for recommending that (most) Apache podlings initially get a dev list only is that their users list might be too small to be viable, resulting in a slightly fragmented community. Some projects stay like that happily forever, maybe because they don't really have users who are not also developers, or because they are small communities. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscribe@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-help@community.apache.org
