Which bit? A subset of the stuff discussed here is currently important enough to discuss on maemo-community. How would you categorise the distinction between:

• stuff which is currently mainly discussed on -community with pointers to tmo,
• stuff that which is the other way around
• stuff that is only discussed on tmo
• stuff that is only discussed on -community.

My impression is that the "big" stuff (where to hold the summit, council elections, karma, QA process) are primarily discussed on -community. Things which are less cross-cutting (user meetups, testing pushes) are discussed/promoted here.

-community is the evolution of the migard2maemo list. It is currently intended that this is where the work around maemo.org is discussed. Since most of the work on the infrastructure of maemo.org is paid for; that is what I meant.

Canned responses apply:

• There's more noise on tmo; even in the Community sub-forum. Reggie's new "subscribed sub-forum" feature is a godsend to those of us who use the fora, but it's still a pull mechanism.
• Email is push.
• It's easier to work with mailing lists offline. Some of us travel a lot.
• It's easier to filter out threads which aren't of interest to you.
• It's easier to repackage a mailing list into other systems (such as gmane et al) than it is a forum.
• Threading is better on a mailing list.
• The SNR is higher. I don't know why; I'm not suggesting that the people on a mailing list are better; it just is. In our circumstance. That's not to say that there aren't excellent posts and posters here either.

Why not the other way around? Why not post a link to tmo everytime there's a new -community thread?
