[Development] Mailing list for community / web / marketing / events

[Quim Gil]

Hi, I want to propose the creation of a mailing list focusing on 
marketing, events and misc community activities not directly related 
with software development:

- qt-project.org content.
- Marketing activities.
- Organization and involvement in events.
...

The problem is that many of the people actually working on these 
activities (at Nokia, other companies, individuals...) are not really 
engaged in software development and I don't see them subscribing here 
only to cherry-pick the non-technical discussions. What it happens in 
practice is that someone like me must go after them to their mailboxes, 
blogs, tweets, etc - without a clear record of whatever discussions we 
might have.

I subscribe totally to the principle of less lists with high traffic and 
the education on e.g. mail filters. I think it works well to prevent the 
fragmentation of discussions inside a meta-area (e.g. software 
development) but I don't think it is the solution for everything 
especially when you are mixing busy people with very different backgrounds.

The existence of "marketing" or "community" specific mailing lists in 
big free software projects is quite usual. Probably for a good reason.

Please consider. Thank you.
