Thanks Jason. I have mixed feelings, here are some thoughts

- it's hard to predict how this stuff will work out, it needs  
experimentation. Where possible I favour  prototyping/demoing/mocking  
it up first with our existing tools, without waiting for new coding or  
big infrastructure changes. When we see it works, easy to do a bit  
more work to make it cosmetically nice. In particular, can we  
experiment with darcs send --to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --subject whatever and  
explore that ? We may discover some tweaks I can make to help with that.

- I'm not sure we need the overhead of a totally reified workflow for  
patches, all hard-coded into our tools. I think we're just learning  
how to use the current lightweight approach (email) and it's working  
pretty well and there's more we can do. I love technological tweaks  
that pay their way, benefit outweighing cost. We'll find out what  
those are.

- I have good recent knowledge of roundup and the darcs.net server  
(not so much the email aliases & lists) and will gladly assist  
whenever I can. I can't commit to any sustained effort. I can mentor  
any of your who want to learn more about this stuff. Roundup is indeed  
a pretty nice platform, and worth learning.

Replying on-list, where I'd rather discuss most stuff. Best - Simon
