Re: [Haskell-cafe] Proposal: New mailing lists -- haskell-jobs & haskell-academia

I agree with Ben. People will just keep posting where they get the most audience. It won't make a difference. Besides, the mail subject for a job posting is in most cases enough to simply skip the email, in case you are not interested in job postings (or studentships). -1 On Fri, Jul 4, 2014 at 2:43 PM, Ben Gamari wrote:

could you take this bikeshedding about things that aren't haskell to a different list please :) If it is inappropriate to discuss this here, where is this best discussed then?

I believe Carter was just making a joke although it can be tough to tell over such a lossy medium.

With respect to the proposal, I agree with others that while splitting the list looks good on paper, in practice people will likely just continue posting where they can get the largest audience unless there are significant disincentives to doing so. Frankly, I don't find the traffic generated by any of the Haskell lists to be onerous so enforcing such disincentives doesn't seem worth the friction they might give rise to. -1 from me.
