I, for one, am subscribed to the libreoffice Marketing and the Design
lists (among others). Both lists "managers" (sorry, can't find an
appropriate wording here) have decided to go the Redmine route. I
understand this is much better for the workflows.

I have to say that I appreciate receiving news through the lists
channels, even though I don't post much. Stopping these channels won't
bring information any more to the public about what's going on, the
design paths that are taken. Thus, to me, as I probably won't have much
time to visit the LibreOffice Redmines, the project life will now turn
to be much on the stupid users side and I shall be deprived from much
insight.

I think leaving the Design and Marketing lists is a big mistake. Many
people might be like me: listening much and speaking little. The fact
that there's little incoming traffic doesn't mean there's no interest.


Hence, I join my voice to Florian's one and kindly ask for a second
thought on both the concerned lists.
