My gripe with using the AOL-managed LISTSERV for community-focused things is the lack of community control of the assets. If we use SF mailing lists, then the community can help manage those assets. This of course raises the question of "then why leave the discussion on the AOL-managed LISTSERV" ... my only answer is, "because for discussion, SF mailing lists aren't as nice." I'd be interested in moving the discussion list to a Yahoo! Group, as their features are quite nice -- the web interface is really good, being able to post files and set up polls, etc. > Reading all the posts this morning makes me think that we need some > better ways for everyone to communicate.

I think an Ousterhoutian poll is sufficient here. Looks like there's enough "yay" votes (compared to the "nay" votes) to justify moving the SourceForge tracker mail OFF the general discussion list. The question is where to move it to, and I definitely vote for a series of SF mailing lists. -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
