We do need to set up some new email lists for everyone. I think Britdisc is quite vunerable to spam because its not moderated automatically (you don't have to be subscribed to post to it)
I think we'll probably go for yahoogroups or something similar (anyone got any advice/preferences?) Having an daily digest feature would be good. Having a separate announcement-only list would be popular too. I also thing we should make sure there is a choice of special interest groups as Britdisc is a bit vague in its purpose. Thoughts and suggestions welcome (a Britdisc debate?)
