=The mb-style Mailing List=

==Purpose==

This [[Mailing List|MailingList]] serves as the discussion area where people can discuss [[Style Guideline|StyleGuideline]]s and ''general'' style related issues.

==Description and Good Style==

mb-style is a mailing list to discuss ''general'' issues of style, like proposing new [[Style Guideline|StyleGuideline]]s, or discussing whether to change an existing [[Style Guideline|StyleGuideline]]. It is ''not'' about specific cases of data and the question what style should be applied in these cases. Those cases belong to the [[Users Mailing List|UsersMailingList]].

Ideally such general issues come up in the [[Users Mailing List|UsersMailingList]] in connection to a concrete case. When people find that they have run into a general issue, the thread should move over to the StyleMailingList.

"Do you need a decision by the Style Council to solve your problem?". If the answer is "no", or "I don't know" (or even "What is the [[Style Council|StyleCouncil]]?", then post your question to the [[Users Mailing List|UsersMailingList]].
