This is exactly what I'm trying to do, so...
On the other hand, the suggested list is for all statistics discussions
*within* Fedora. Maybe it would be a better idea to have a datanommer
list at Fedora Hosted, and leave Fedora-specific discussion to this
list.
The worry I have when a project that Fedora is relying on heavily
gets its
own mailing list is that the communication between the project and Fedora
Admins tends to degrade. Schedules for deployment, resources to host the
service, people to maintain applications, etc all seem to get talked about
on the other list and the infrastructure group gets pulled in at the last
minute when we have to resolve conflicts, try to fix code unfamiliar to us,
or simply say no.
It's easy for me to say "oh no, no, this won't happen," but it's a
lot
harder to keep that promise. ;) I can try my best to keep all of the
discussions that need to happen here, here. Getting an RFR and a sponsor
(which is something else I need to do) should probably help with that.
