[Bigbang-dev] Why a public mailing list?

Hello, It seems as if a few emails from this list did not make it into the archive because of an error in the import. This is no big deal; those emails weren't that important. http://lists.ghserv.net/pipermail/bigbang-dev/2016-October/thread.html But I thought it would be a good opportunity to send a reminder about why we use mailing lists with public archives. The reason is that this is important for handling community growth. Our archival record is what will make it easier for new contributors to get involved and get an understanding of the history of the project. Please see Karl Fogel as a reference http://producingoss.com/en/growth.html#using-archives All best, Seb
