RE: Announcement: Notifications List

2005-12-22 13:58:41
I believe in the end-to-end principle, rather than the "network knows
best" principle.

If someone is interested in a topic, they can subscribe to the topic.

If they are interested in everything, they can subscribe to everything.

If that are not interested in something, they can chose to not subscribe
to the topic.

Why force someone to listen to the whole
messaging/applications/rai/weather/snmp/smtp/ldap/foobar discussion if
all they are interested in is the limited topic of notifications?  More
especially so since one CAN chose to get everything?  Most especially so
since one MAY search the entire archives rather easily?

In Vancouver in the lemonade work group meeting a number of people
expressed interest in the creation of a list dedicated to the
discussion
of user notification technology.

This list is for discussions relating to the requirements, definition,
and directions for message notifications.

While many requirements are driven by lemonade, there is a broader
community with interest and expertise that we hope will contribute to
the discussion here.

Please keep discussions that relate to lemonade, smtp, simple, etc. on
their respective lists.

Please do not impose this constraint.  There is already far too much 
tendency for narrowly-focused groups to work in isolation and to ignore 
useful input from parties whose interests are peripheral to the group 
but affected by the group's output.  This in turn causes groups to get 
strong pushback at Last Call which could have been avoided had the group

not isolated itself.

Please keep cross-posting to a minimum.  Cross-posting to a number of
lists will put your message into the spam bucket and will delay or
deny
your message being posted.

If the list manager is going to impose restrictions such as this, it 
would be better if such discussion happened elsewhere than on this list.
