A huge percentage of the discussion of the ET is happening on TRAC rather than on this mailing list. This keeps things tidy, with each conversation attached to a single ticket. Anyone is free to subscribe to the TRAC mailing list (see <a href="http://einsteintoolkit.org">einsteintoolkit.org</a>) and to view the tickets. However, it means that most of the discussion of the ET is not seen by most of the users. What can we do about this?</div><div><br></div><div>One logical distinction is between "users" and "developers" of the ET. Users will subscribe to this mailing list, and developers will see the tickets. Some have said in the past that there should be no distinction between these two groups. I suspect that not everyone currently subscribed to the users' list would like to receive the volume of ticket notifications that we currently generate! Maybe we just need to be better at identifying issues which are of interest to users and well as developers. Would it work to add the users' mailing list to the CC of such tickets?</div><div><br></div></div><div apple-content-edited="true">
