I think both should be in one mailing list, for simplicity, the fact
that both topics overlap a lot, and because the more, the more likely
to get an answer.

Hmmm,
No iPhone - specific functionality to be discussed yet. But
obviously one important question to asking: How to partition the
lists?
I hope that our existing CocoaDev moderater(s) will be given fully
the responsibility for such task and enough leeway to make their own
decision about it. Most people are under the assumption currently
that there will be simply (1) new discussion group added for the
iPhone. However there may actually a considerable overlap with
people not knowing which list to post to.
Actually i personally believe that this would be a good oppostunity
for the admins to consider entirely re-structuring the lists. For
example having a base list (for any such common frameworks), then
having an iPhone specific list. And then also having the Cocoa-Dev
list. As a side-effect that would make the existing Cocoa-Dev forum
more focussed on Cocoa development on the desktop computers. Do
people think this list should remain as general as it is, and is its
size too big or too small?
In many ways i believe the list very good as it is however many
times others have commented that the list is simply grown very big /
much bigger (and the time taken to read through means that a
substantial number of emails are missed / cannot be replied too).
What are other people's thought on this issue? And would the iPhone
develpers benefit or de at a disadvantage having figure out which of
2 lists to post to?
For me i believe that its no difficulty to use multiple lists (as i
am already subscribed to the Xcode list). I also believe that it
would the moderator's job easier to make each list smaller and fewer
guidelines would then be necessary on each list. Having fewer /
shorter guidlines is a good thing, because if the guidelines are too
long people simply dont read them. And a smaller list can self -
manage itself more effectively. However i also believe if you can
have a 'foundation list' then it might create a situation where more
experienced developers are on what is seen to become a more advanced
list and this could make it harder for newcomers to get as good
quality help and assistance from (those more talented Cocoa
Developers).
But in either way - i know i shall be subscribing to all of the
Cocoa-related lists.

That is one of the things I'm going to be clarifying.
for now, just wait to talk about anything on the list.

Quick question, what do they mean by Released and Unreleased
software (just want the terminology correct).
Thanks,

For those of you who have seen
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program
We have decided to drop the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for
released iPhone software.
We put the NDA in place because the iPhone OS includes many Apple
inventions and innovations that we would like to protect, so that
others don’t steal our work. It has happened before. While we
have filed for hundreds of patents on iPhone technology, the N
DA added yet another level of protection. We put it in place a
s one more way to help protect the iPhone from being ripped of
f by others.
However, the NDA has created too much of a burden on developers,
authors and others interested in helping further the iPhone’s
success, so we are dropping it for released software. Develope
rs will receive a new agreement without an NDA covering releas
ed software within a week or so. Please note that unreleased s
oftware and features will remain under NDA until they are released.
Thanks to everyone who provided us constructive feedback on this
matter.

Please hold off on discussion of the SDK on this list until I can
verify how this is to be handled, and post another message.
Thanks
Scott
