this list has come in for some criticism recently, and there are many
people who have, publicly or otherwise, decided not to read it or
contribute to it any more. i've set up a wiki page to help us gather
suggestions and ideas for improving this list, or maybe even trying
something new in its place.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Talk_discussion

this list has been a core part of the OSM community since the
beginning of the project, but things change and it seems to have lost
some of that importance. maybe this is a natural part of a project
becoming the size that OSM is today, and we should embrace the
diversity of our communications channels. alternatively, it could be a
sign that there are things we can do to improve the quality and
atmosphere on this list. if you can think of a way in which to make
this list better, please add your thoughts to the wiki page.

cheers,

matt
