Jeremy would like to keep freedos-cvs and freedos-kernel, but I think
it's safe to assume we can close down the other lists I mentioned.
I'll comment out freedos-devel-net, freedos-freecom, and fd-doc-list
from the FreeDOS Mailing Lists page. If no further objections, I'll
close down these 3 lists via SourceForge over the weekend. Please move
discussion threads from those lists to freedos-devel.
The lists that will remain open are freedos-cvs, freedos-kernel,
freedos-user, freedos-devel. The FreeDOS-32 developers have their own
freedos-32-dev list, and I'll still link to them from our pages.

Sorry for the cross-post, but I wanted to make sure people knew about
the other list before I made changes.
I've noticed that traffic on several of our lists has decreased to the
point of a trickle. It's been suggested to me that we try to
consolidate lists, to re-invigorate discussion among FreeDOS developers
and focus discussion to relevant development topics.
Closing down some of the lists in order to funnel new users into a
common discussion area does seem to be a good move right now.
I copied the list traffic stats into a spreadsheet so I could look for
trends. See http://www.freedos.org/jhall/temp/traffic/traffic.png
It's pretty clear that freedos-user, freedos-devel, and freedos-32-dev
are our most active lists. The others have declined in traffic since
about Sept 2004, if they had any traffic to speak of. That means the
lists to close down would be freedos-devel-net, freedos-kernel,
freedos-freecom, freedos-cvs, and fd-doc-list.
So, I'd like to close down these 5 lists, and just have all traffic go
to freedos-devel. What do you think?
