Whatever.  Please concider re-reading my mail, replacing "PR" with 
"marketing", and reflect on _that_ instead of my confusing those terms.

The -devel list was _not_ my main concern.


I will now, sadly, unsubscribe from IAEP - not because only geek stuff 
interests me (which is not true!), but because I feel that the list is 
getting too noisy for my taste.

Back when I subscribed, I enjoyed its high quality educational focus of 
Since then, as Sugarlabs evolved, the list became more and more 
"cluttered" with organizational stuff that IMO were more appropriate to 
discuss at a seapare organizational list. I now realize that this _is_ 
the organizational list and there are no separate place for educational 
discussions. It is a feature, not a bug, that this list gets more 
"noisy" as the project grows.  Makes sense, but does not it my capacity 
(I am already involved too deeply in other projects - cannot keep up 
with project-wide details of more).


I will continue to package Sugar for Debian, and I might stay subscribed 
to sugar-devel (depending on the amount of "noise" on that list).

I write this in the hope that reflecting on my decision is of some use 
to you (I worry that some educational interested people just silently 
unsubscribe, now and in the future).  I will happily subscribe again 
later, if situation changes - feel free to notify me if that happens (as 
I will now no longer keep track).

You are most welcome to cc me any posts that you suspect might be of 
direct interest to me - and perhaps you even want my opinion on.


Good luck with the ever more succesful Sugarlabs project!
