[Development] Qt 5 for Android developer mailing list

[Hausmann Simon]

I think that mailing lists work best if they are either very specific or catch-all.

Development@ is our catch-all. Mobile-development is also a catch-many and mobile is becoming increasingly blurry. Android-port is very specific.

Topics regarding QT on mobile devices go well into development, such as how do we address the new life-cycle model of processes in operating systems like iOS, Android or Windows 8.Topics specific to android api level 9, that other bug in bionic or why surfaceflinger sometimes triple-buffers belong into a specific mailing list.

It is the responsibility of us as contributors to maintain a discipline in picking the right lists for emails and to maintain a productive signal/noise ratio.

I'll try once more: We have identified the need for a dedicated channel of
communication for a new project with a rather tight deadline. We would like
that channel to be publicly visible so that that others can follow what we do.

To be honest I am reluctant to this mentality of not caring about others like me who do not wish to subscribe to many mailing lists.

Do I care about mobile platforms? Yes.
Do I wish to maintain many bubbles separately? No.

I do not even try to figure out why you would need to read all the emails on the development@ mailing list, and not just the Android subjects, especially if it is expected in a short time frame. I would even find that suboptimal, but that is why I wrote the 4) alternative which is a compromissum for both parties... What is wrong about that? Do you really *have* to be totally separate from the rest which will end up even in a closed list?
