I have followed cooker since beta3 and I have been badly
surprised by the lack of reliability of the mailing list.
Maybe replace it by a private news server as suggested
by another poster would be a good idea.

I got the impression that some developers were reluctant
to use the mailing list; for example, I posted a message
about net_monitor, got invited to post code, did it,
got absolutely no answer, reposted in case the code had 
been lost, in vain, gave up, then noticed that the code had
been indeed added to net_monitor.

No discussion, no question, no one but myself and (I hope)
the Mandrake developer had the occasion to test my code.
Very strange. Bad communication is usual in open source
but I have never seen something like that until cooker.
