Recently, a couple of folks have asked about the possibility of a new
list dedicated to ticketing policy and process. Basically, this new list
would deal with how RT is used for various things and not so much the
mechanics of making RT run.
Thoughts?

I would find such a list interesting, and would definitely subscribe,
though I’m afraid I wouldn’t have much to add.

the idea might be helpful for someone who is not moving them all into one
folder 
Then, you would probably need to prohibit crossposts. Which are quite frequent
already with the two lists.
And the more users you have, the more often you’ll have to tell them
that they actually write to the wrong list…
sorry, maybe I’m too much skeptical today.

Same here.

This is true, which is why I think that the list that I need to be
subscribed to is the “rt-admin” list. It would be a list about how to
make RT work, and how to admin it.
The users which belong on rt-users are the management types who tell the
admin types how to make it look, where the queues should go, and how
they should feel, and whatnot.
ugh.

I would definitely subscribe to both lists.

I’m not certain the traffic level on rt-users warrants splitting a portion
of its traffic onto a separate list. Perhaps an etiquette request for
subscribers to prepend subject lines with one of a small set of keywords to
delineate the basic topic would be another alternative to consider? So, all
subjects would end up in the received form of "[list] [keyword] subject"
with keyword examples such as database, user management, user interface,
installation, etc. Mailing list etiquette rules could be addressed in an
RTFM article.

I would definitely subscribe to both lists.
A few thoughts in no particular order:
I don’t think it’s broken now.

Can I suggest we introduce and discuss some of these topics on this
list, and see if it is too confusing before splitting the list?
Maybe a keyword in the subject for process questions…

- rt-users isn’t a heavy mailing list
- diehards will probably subscribe to both anyhow
- people that aren’t diehards might not be able to
tell technical problems from process questions, and
process problems might evolve into technical questions,
so it’ll have mucho crosspostingI don’t think it’s broken now.

Though I would most likely subscribe to both lists,
This sounds like a good separation to make, and it will simplify the way
I read the mailing list

I would certainly be interested in a separate list which would discuss how
to configure RT from a business-process perspective, rather from a nuts
and bolts unix error prospective.
Someplace to discuss ‘I have this business model and I’m thinking of
configuring my system so - anyone else got a similar situation and any
experiences to share?’
I would subscribe to both, for sure.
