With the goal of setting up a mechanism to collect community comments, these are the goals I'm capturing in our meeting:- A mailbox for collecting community comments
- The messages would be publicly displayed so that:
- the commenters can confirm that each comment has been received, and
- it is easy to collate and publish the comments later in the report
- The comments are not meant to be a community discussion list.
While these goals can be accomplished via a mailing list, I think that it would be useful to display the comments in a way that is not in the typical mailing list archive format. I would think that we wouldn't want to set the expectation that there is a mailing list that can be subscribed to for a full email discussion.
And it *might* be useful for the RC members also receive each comment in our mailbox to ease searches with the members individually subscribed to this comment list.
If someone has a better suggestion for receiving, displaying, and collating comments, please speak up. I'm simply recognizing that a mailing list engine is a familiar backend tool to help us with this.
