[What I am about to raise is off-topic under the current subject line, 
but not so, IMO, in the light of the above --so, please flame sparingly.]

For several years, I subscribed to Firebird-architect maillist. I didn't 
have much to contribute other than asking the odd (dumb) question, but 
it was very educational to me.

But, of course, the purpose of that maillist wasn't that --to educate 
me--, there they discussed a lot of architectural stuff, usually way 
above implementation details.

Jim Starkey's presence was extremely valuable as he was practically 
there when world discovered RDBMSes; and, he would --more often than 
not-- have tried quite a lot of the bright ideas suggested by other 
members. He'd list what went right/wrong at the time he tried them and 
what would it take to avoid pitfalls etc. Or, he would, in a few 
paragraphs, explain theoretical things you'd spend a semeter to grasp.

So, what I am getting at is this: Is there such a list/platform where 
only architectural/design issues (no commit details, no coding minutea 
etc.) are discussed?

If there is, I'd like to subscribe to it as a read-only member [I won't 
add noise, promise.]

If there's not one, I wonder if people here think it would be a good 
idea to have one?
