Welcome to kde-quality!

[[ This is a sample 'welcome to' message which I'd like to
apply to the list 
so that new subscribers -- one of whom is BCC'ed -- know
what they are 
getting into and how the list works. I'll be adding this --
or a modification 
of it, based on list comments -- to the mailman welcome
message. ]]

Hi Nils,

Welcome to the kde-quality mailing list. This list has a
two-fold charter:

1) Discussing KDE's quality checking infrastructure and
tools, which mostly 
live on the English Breakfast Network. Unit tests and
coverage are ok as 
well. This is an active list; talk and then code, but don't
just talk or 
gripe. APIDOX improvements and patches are handled here as
well. Small 
patches where you don't know who to send them to
specifically should probably 
go to kde-devel .

2) Introducing new people to the world of KDE development.
This is about 
pointing people to the right *other* mailing lists,
techbase, extra 
development resources, #kontact, etc.

Please stick with these two topics. Bug reporting / ranting
is not useful on 
this list; bug reports go to bugs.kde.org, rants should just
go elsewhere.

Thanks for living up to the list charter,
[ade] (list admin)

While the message looks good, the double-charter confuses
the poo out of new 
contributors (that's what I think it would to to me).

Shouldn't we just create a welcome list, get some people
there and wipe all 
references to kde-quality being the noob list off the
intarweb? I'm happy to 
take part in this endeavour.

kde-newbies?
kde-introductions?
kde-gettingstarted?

something like that seems sensible, yes. I'll modify the
welcome message a 
little and send it out again today, there's two new pending
subscriptions.

Google shows that there's some wiki pages (easily deletable,
or we just 
s/quality/newbies), a webpage, which can probably be used
with some 
modifications to the charter and a dot story. So if we ditch
the wikipage, 
rewrite the webpage and put up a dot story announcing the
kde-newbies 
initiative, we should be fine. That also gets us some new
people 
initially.

Truth is hard to find and harder to obscure.

Just wanted to give a "thumbs up". Less and
clearer entry points 
together with a quality.kde.org which is about quality is a
nice 
step forward.
