Re: Announcing Nova subteams

 

Separating into subteams seems like a good idea and will allow more focus on
certain areas, but having separate mailing lists for each team might be a
little too overkill, could lead to fragmented development discussions. Even
to have a cursory overview of what's happening in the teams will require you
to subscribe to each of the mailing lists, unless the openstack mailing list
is cc'd in all the emails, at which point it becomes pointless to have the
subteam mailing lists.
