[sldev] Mailing list rename (official)

[Philippe (Merov) Bossut]

Hi,

This email to inform you officially that we decided to rename that mailing
list. Here's why:
- we wanted to refocus the scope of the list around "open source
development":
* widening to not just Snowglobe and the viewer but other Linden Lab open
source projects
* narrowing to source code *development*, so people don't get it confused
with ux or SL development (scripting) issues
- sldev is a generic name confusingly used by some other group in SL (as
explained by Soft in a previous thread)

As for the new name, there has been a long thread already discussing this
and we listen to your concerns. In the end, we settled on: "
opensource-dev at lists.secondlife.com <os-dev at lists.secondlife.com>" (I think
Pixel gets the bragging rights of being the first one to suggest that name).

All current subscribers will be automatically subscribed to the new list so
there's nothing you need to do really, just adjust your filter on your email
client so things go to the right place.

If you were subscribed using the "digest" mail, that choice won't be
automatically moved so you'll have to request the change "manually".

As for the archive, we won't try to migrate it but we'll simply maintain the
old ones as sldev.

Hope the change won't create too much turmoil for you.

Cheers,
- Merov
