Well -dev or both, I dont particularly see a difference at the moment, and establishing two lists isnt really going to make a difference so long as Bitcoin Core is the reference client, which it is by defacto. The risk of having too many lists is interested stakeholders will miss a discussions. Normal protocol and core discussions are usually pretty low volume in any case. > As Jorge notes, a general discussion list has existed for a long time with > little use. I would suggest it's only because there havent been any rules for -dev that would force general discussion over to the bitcoin list. On IRC we regularly tell people in #bitcoin-dev they are OT and ask them to move to #bitcoin and as a result, -dev remains quite clear of chit chat, #bitcoin has a steady stream of general chatter. We could reduce the OT/noise of bitcoin-dev list considerably by offloading the non-technical/academic debate to the bitcoin list. It just needs a bit of shepherding. I am more than happy to help out. Especially if the list already exists, we should consider making a decision now. Who are the moderators for that list? Do we really want to use sourceforge or are there alternatives, like another list on linuxfoundation? ping @Warren.
