At https://mail.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe, the description states: This mailing list is for the discussion of topics related to Haskell. The volume may at times be high, as the scope is broader than the main Haskell mailing list. Discussions on the Haskell mailing list which have drifted off topic, or are only of interest to a small number of subscribers, will be asked to move to Haskell-Cafe. This implies that Haskell-Cafe is a place for off-topic discussions. In practice, haskell@haskell.org is unused and haskell-cafe@haskell.org *is* the Haskell mailing list. Could the description be changed to simply be the first sentence? "This mailing list is for the discussion of topics related to Haskell." --- This request comes from an effort to point potential new contributors to Haskell resources. Specifically, I'm editing https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/mailing-lists-and-irc. I wanted to add a link to haskell-cafe. While sanity-checking the URL, I read the description of the list and got momentarily confused: Should I actually be subscribed to haskell@ instead? But then after checking the archives, I remembered why I unsubscribed from that list many years ago. If it was confusing for me, I assume it would be confusing for newcomers as well. -Bryan
