[linux-audio-dev] [admin] new policy and moderators needed

hi everyone! after reading the thread "Other real-time options", it occurred to me that the strict members-only policy of this list has one huge drawback: it makes communicating with lkml and other communities almost impossible, since cross-posted threads will not make it to this list. i would like to change this. however, i'm very glad that the linux-audio lists are almost 100% spam-free, and i would hate to see that change. so here a proposal for a new policy: cross-posted messages from other mailing lists should be hand-approved in a timely fashion, and known individuals working in audio-related fields get added to the illustrious "auto-approve" list. unfortunately, my time is limited, so i would like to find five or so people who would be willing to step up as moderators. everybody raise your hands and say YEAH!. if you like this idea, we should then approach the key people on lkml (currently akpm, mingo and con) to always cross-post latency-related stuff to linux-audio-dev. this has two advantages: * the burden no longer rests with the few fearless individuals who keep preaching on lkml (kudos to paul, jack and lee ;) - everyone can chime in. * it will give the kernel preemption guys more testers and better feedback. please comment, jörn
