Considering the size of virtualization in Fedora it makes sense
to have a dedicated mailing-list, and at the moment the existing
list Fedora-xen(a)redhat.com doesn't really fit the current state
of Fedora virtualization, so I created a new list:
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-virt
maybe this will avoid getting posts about KVM problems or setup
on a list with a Xen centric focus :-)
The new list would be the correct place for anything related to
virtualization in fedora, both user and development issues,
and all hypervisors. The old list sounds the right place for
people still using Fedora <= 8 with Xen,

I.e., officially nobody?

Well, we know some users just can't switch, our hope is for Xen
in upstream kernel to improve until they are able to be back on the
normal Fedora supported distros.
But right now the status-quo is that some people still need to
run Fedora 8,

Woohoo, I was wondering where my KVM questions went. Excellent.
For those wondering, I think here are most of the Fedora mailing lists
that are virt related:
libvir-list(a)redhat.com -- libvirt, libvirtd, and underlying libraries
ovirt-devel(a)redhat.com -- a management application and a minimal OS for
managing virt
fedora-virt(a)redhat.com -- the new list
fedora-xen(a)redhat.com -- the old list
et-mgmt-tools(a)redhat.com -- virt-manager, virt-install, virsh, and
related tools, also appliance build tools (thincrust) that target virt
cobbler(a)lists.fedorahosted.org -- for automated lab/datacenter/etc
installs of physical and virtual machines
spacewalk-list(a)redhat.com -- has a virt installation and management
component (xenpv only now)
Let me know if I've forgotten any.
I am going to have to start collecting virt mailing list trading cards
now...

I think we should fold et-mgmt-tools into fedora-virt too. The list
has < 10 messages / day, and has a confusing name that superficially
has nothing to do with virtualization unless you happen to know the
history behind some Red Hat internal department.

virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any
software inside the virtual machine. Supports Linux and Windows.

Perhaps you can move the projects under development to fedorahosted.org
and get some added benefits such as a tracker.

Yeah, I agree with moving this around (virt-tools sounds good).
Originally this list was started back when we just wanted a list for
various systems management projects that our (Red Hat) group created,
not really even being sure which ones would be ones we'd be spending
time on (hence not wanting to pick a more specific name). Then it
became largely cobbler+virt-manager, then lots of other virt tools came
along, and cobbler migrated to it's own list because it wasn't all virt
related, so we're left with pretty much the assorted virt tools here.
This list becoming the hub for discussions around virt tooling seems to
be good, and folks can come there with new virt ideas as well.
Make it so, #1?
