The template-haskell@haskell.org mailing list
Question: is the template-haskell@haskell.org mailing list still useful? * It has 250 subscribers compared to 850 for ghc-users. * It has low traffic * template-haskell is the only GHC-specific mailing list associated with a particular language feature. Eg type functions, ghci, etc do not have their own list * The traffic on ghc-users is not dauntingly high. I suggest we abolish it in favour of ghc-users. Any dissenters? (I'd emit a warning, so that people could check they are subscribed to ghc-users.) Simon

My gut reaction: probably not.
* It has 250 subscribers compared to 850 for ghc-users. * It has low traffic * template-haskell is the only GHC-specific mailing list associated with a particular language feature. Eg type functions, ghci, etc do not have their own list * The traffic on ghc-users is not dauntingly high.
Also telling is the fact that so many threads are begun and left to rot (i.e. questions remain unanswered). My impression is that very few people actually pay attention to the template-haskell list. I suggest we abolish it in favour of ghc-users. Any dissenters? (I'd emit
a warning, so that people could check they are subscribed to ghc-users.)
Not here. Sean
Hi,
would that move preserve the archive?

It's possible to remove the mailing list facility itself without removing the archive, I believe. I'm not sure whether it leaves the web page for the mailing list in place, and if not, how the archives could be found. Cheers, Simon
