Re: [sc-users] Mailing List Mode



Peter -

Historically, the SuperCollider email lists have had two topics and two email addresses - sc-users and sc-dev. On scsynth.org, we chose to provide more categories so people can have more choice over what they receive emails about.

In general, discussion that would have occurred on sc-dev takes place in the Development category, and via the email address ct-development ct-development@xxxxxxxxxxxxx . Discussion that occurs on sc-users generally takes places in the Questions category, via the email address ct-questions@xxxxxxxxxxxxx . The other categories are generally for announcements/non-SC discussions, or as long-term places for keeping resources like guides, articles, and learning materials (these also have their own addresses, if you ever need to e.g. announce an event you're playing).

In case it wasn't clear, you don't need to use a specific email address to communicate with TOPICS - there's simply a specific address for different CATEGORIES of discussion, as there was on the previous mailing list. Unless a category is muted, you will receive emails for ALL categories and can reply to them as one would expect - but if you are creating a new topic, you do need to choose where that topic is posted.

Thanks Johannes, thanks Daniel for your answers!

I am afraid but;
If I have to pick an email address to send to depending on the topic I
will refrain to post to the forum in mailing list mode. This is no
mailing list mode but a second class ripoff.

If I have to sign up on a web forum to post a new topic I will not do
so.

So, could we keep the mailing list alive then?

best, P
