Thread:
Lists: pgsql-advocacy

I am getting concerned about the quality of email traffic on the
advocacy list. It seems postings are often not fully formed ideas and
that threads frequently go on and on with few conclusions. I am
thinking there has to be more leadership in keeping threads on track,
and more focus in emails.

Why does this matter? I have been approached by two sales people in the
past few days who are subscribed to advocacy and want to help
PostgreSQL, but they are wondering if the advocacy list is a useful
place for them to help. If we don't add focus to the discussions, we
risk losing their involvement in advocating PostgreSQL.

FYI, I don't see anywhere near the same kind of unfocused discussion on
the other PostgreSQL email lists.
