It should also sit elsewhere as well.  Some suggestions:

1. Main ARM Linux site
2. HPA should have a copy (since he admins the device database, and should
   be able to answer questions like "What is the API provided by major x
   minor y)
3. in the Documentation/ part of the kernel source tree.

I don't mean to cause offence to those people at handhelds.org or any
of the other mailing lists, but it strikes me that we're getting too
many mailing lists covering the same sort of areas, which is ending up
with a loss of clarity and greater confusion.  We currently have:

        [EMAIL PROTECTED]

                For announcements about new features/projects etc only
                (moderated)

        [EMAIL PROTECTED]

                For discussions about kernels/kernel APIs
                (unmoderated)

        [EMAIL PROTECTED] OR
        [EMAIL PROTECTED]

                For anything that doesn't fall into the above categories.
                (unmoderated)

        [EMAIL PROTECTED]

                ?

        [EMAIL PROTECTED]

                StrongARM-1100 stuff ?

        [EMAIL PROTECTED]

                Linux on ARM7110 ?

I would prefer to see all kernel stuff discussed on linux-arm-kernel, so
that there is one central place where people can go to look for stuff, in
much the same way as the main linux-kernel list.

I'd also like these "other" mailing lists provide a clear definition of
their purpose so that it can be documented and readily available to people.

Please, don't loose sight that we're not huge community (yet)!
