I've held back on cross-posting them because I know that general@ is subscribers-only, and the bounce messages are quite annoying to replies coming from lkml. The general@ list is subscribers-only because the openfabrics.org sysadmin team is already overworked without trying to keep an open list spam free. (I say that with no intention to criticize the openfabrics.org admins -- they do a terrific job of keeping things running with the limited resources available; it's more a testament to how impressive the vger mailing list admins are) I've also noticed one or two messages about the possibility of moving another moderated list to vger. Certainly I prefer open lists that don't require subscriptions to post. So with that background, what would people think about creating an open vger list (say, linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org) to carry the discussion currently on general@lists.openfabrics.org? (The transition plan would probably be to keep the general@ list for a month or two, with frequent announcements of the new list, until archives etc. have caught up with the switch) Thanks, Roland
