Sorry if I added to anyone's annoyance! I mistakenly thought there
probably already was a dev-only list somewhere.

And also, the bottom of the front page of http://devuan.org/ says this
list is the "General discussion" list, which I assumed meant
not-so-technical discussion was fine too, especially since I saw
various non-technical discussions already occurring.


I like the idea of a dev list, but I also like the idea of there being
a place for general discussions too, so devs and ordinary users can
all interact if we wish.

I'm also glad there is a forum: http://talk.devuan.org/

I actually prefer forums over mailing lists in general because forums
seem to be more organized, which makes it easier for people to avoid
anything they're uninterested in.

Perhaps I'll post there more than here in the future.

Same here, even though I can program a bit, and am learning more all the time.

I don't feel _too_ guilty about having participated in non-technical
discussions here, since this _is_ described on the front page of
http://devuan.org/ as the "General discussion" list.

But, again, I apologize if I annoyed anyone - even though as far as I
know, none of the discussions lately broke any official rules.

And, sorry if I'm mistaken and if any of the discussions actually did
break some rules I didn't know about.

Yes, I look forward to that. :-)

I hope I'll be able to make myself useful too somehow.

Best wishes,
