I basically agree with all the above. If there is general agreement, I'm willing to continue as a co-moderator, but equally willing to pass that on to someone else. In case it's not sufficiently clear: we are moderators, not administrators. We have *no power* over the list other than defining certain policies (e.g. no digests), dealing with spam, and managing membership. We have nothing to do with the hosting platform or the Mailman implementation. IOW a decision to set up an alternate list doesn't rely on us in any way. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
