Re: speeding up Octave development (was: Re: m-code)

[Huaiyu Zhu]

There are several ways to separate maintainer email from general
questions.  Some projects use two-tier or three-tier systems.
May be this will work?

Core: the interpreter.
Distrib: m-files that go with official distribution.
Contrib: m-files that are available on ftp sites.

Now split the list into

help-octave
devel-octave

so that questions about contributed m-files are only answered on the
devel list.  Contrib files can be incorporated in distrib as JWE sees fit.
There can be Cathedral and Baazar at the same time. :-)
