Description Robert P. J. Day 2012-12-29 10:13:51 UTC

On main Yocto web page, under mailing lists, one reads "Also check out the openembedded-core list and the bitbake-devel list, hosted by OpenEmbedded."  But those lists are already listed on the main ML page, what's the value in singling them out for special treatment here?

Not a big deal but it's just confusing, it makes those two lists seem somehow special when they're listed on the mailing list page already.  And, yes, my upcoming "bugs" are going to be that pedantic. :-)

P.S.  I might also ensure that that mailing list page is up-to-date; I could swear there are now more lists than that, but that's working from memory.

I worded it that way to show the difference between lists hosted by the Yocto Project and those hosted at OpenEmbedded. I'll think of a way to word it a little better so it doesn't sound like an advertisement.

The list was up to date as of about two weeks ago, but I think it is out of date now - will fix

changed to

All Yocto Project hosted mailing lists, including the main yocto list. Also check out the openembedded-core list and the bitbake-devel list, hosted by OpenEmbedded.
