Hi,
A few things have convinced me that it was time for us to setup a
separate mailing list for John the Ripper development topics, so I did:
http://www.openwall.com/john/#lists
http://www.openwall.com/lists/john-dev/
I've populated the initial subscriber list for john-dev with those of us
who have posted patches to john-users and are currently on john-users.
I think this is acceptable because those people would otherwise be
receiving development-related messages via the main john-users list.
The split into two lists simply gives everyone a choice.
It is quite likely that I missed someone, though. If you have not
received my "welcome" message via john-dev, yet want to be on that list,
please subscribe on your own (see the first URL above for instructions).
There's no requirement that you contribute - you may just watch
discussions if you like.
At this time, we have 25 subscribers on john-dev. For comparison,
john-users has over 1000. I hope john-dev will grow to hundreds of
members, too - even if most of those will be just watching.
Let's take the various development-focused discussions out of john-users
and private e-mail, and bring them to john-dev. By "development-focused"
I mean anything discussing specific source code changes. Things such as
high-level discussions of potential new features or user-visible changes
may/should remain on john-users - because we need input from the users.
Thanks,
Alexander
