I personally don't see much value in a *mailing-list* for delegates. In PyCon Italy, we have a mailing-list for organizers and a newsletter (= read-only mailing-list, if you prefer) for delegates/fans/followers, with a very low and clean traffic. By your description above, I propose that we simply turn europython@ into a newsletter so that non-moderators can't post (and we can then link it with the "subscribe to newsletter" form in the website). -- Giovanni Bajo :: [email protected] Develer S.r.l. :: http://www.develer.com My Blog: http://giovanni.bajo.it Last post: Compile-time Function Execution in D _______________________________________________ Europython-improve mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython-improve
