[Twg] "TWG" and "discuss" reflectors.

[John Carrier]

Dave and I would like to restructure how the TWG uses our two email reflectors, "TWG" and "discuss".   The existence and use of these two reflectors are confusing to people exploring OpenSFS.

TWG discussions are open and are posted on both reflectors.  "discuss" is open to all subscribers from the Lustre community.   Though its archive is open to the public, the "TWG" reflector only allows subscribers from OpenSFS member organizations.

The "TWG" reflector exists for those few topics where input only from OpenSFS members is appropriate.   One such topic is how we allocate funds for future development.   All members of the Lustre community have been encouraged to propose features and participate in the requirements conversation, but only organizations that have contributed money to support OpenSFS directly will have a vote on what we fund.

Our goal is to make access to the TWG easier and our use of the two reflectors less confusing.  As a result, we propose that we change how we use the two reflectors.  "discuss" should be the reflector for all Lustre community technical discussions and "TWG" should be the reflector for members-only business.  "TWG" will still be world readable, but only members can contribute content.    This change will mean that we will move all non-OpenSFS subscribers to the "discuss" list.

We would like to discuss this briefly during tomorrow's TWG concall (9:30a PT).  Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John & Dave
