[Java-collab] So how is this list doing? Are we on topic...

[Jody Garnett]

So how are we doing for staying on topic? A couple things have been 
really successful:
- introductions all around
- learning about new work (and duplicated work)

And a couple tracks (on and off list) where we could improve:
- yesterday I was sorting out a compatibility problem between uDig and 
Deegree; and signing up to deegree-devel and posting follow up email on 
udig-devel etc...
- The ISO19115/ISO19111 discussion is starting to span multiple lists - 
CCing java-collab; and geoserver-devel; and geotools-devel

It would save me time and effort to have java-collab as a venue for 
working out compatibility problems; would that be a good use of this list?
I think the ISO19115/ISO1911 discussion started off okay; but as the 
discussion got specific, and importantly additional lists were CCed, it 
was hard for others to take part.

Please note if you CC a developer list (other than java-collab) others 
will not smoothly be able to reply to the message; and it becomes a pain 
for all involved.
