Hi folks
Yesterday evening i sent an email to Greg KH about getting batman into mainline via staging. I CCed the list. Since i used an account which is not subscribed, i got a bounce:
You are not allowed to post to this mailing list, and your message has been automatically rejected. If you think that your messages are being rejected in error, contact the mailing list owner at b.a.t.m.a.n-owner@lists.open-mesh.net.
This is contrary to what the wiki says:
http://open-mesh.org/wiki/MailingList
You can subscribe to our Mailing List here. You can also send an E-Mail without subscription to b.a.t.m.a.n@…, but note that this message will have to be accepted manually (and this can take some time).
Greg KH reply also bounced, and he was not so happy about that.
If we want to receive comments from the kernel experts, we are probably going to need an open list.
I can think of two options:
1) Make the batman list open for none subscribers to post to.
2) Create a batman-adv list which is open and we use that for all discussion about kernel work.
As a side issue, i'm not sure batman-adv is the right name for mainline. In the context of the batman project, it makes sense, but from the perspective of mainline, this is the first version of batman, and maybe we cannot justify the advanced.
