We discussed about the move to Savannah a year ago. http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month022002/msg00068.html I think we could at least host the mailing-list there. I'm willing to be one of the moderators (I'm of the smartmontools mailing-lists hosted at SourceForge.net and of my cable modem service user group at FreeLists.org). Since Bob Izenberg (one of lynx-dev moderators) created (I didn't know) the project at Savannah at the time (do a search for Savannah lynx on Google), I think there'd be no problem to ask him to move all lynx-dev subscribers, and he could also redirect all e-mails for a time (maybe a year or until 2.8.5 is released), which would be moderated. After that he could just send back an e-mail about the move to Savannah. I also think someone from Savannah may be able to index all FLORA archives. I'm not considering SourceForge.net since they now put commercial junk on all e-mails. And I'm pretty sure Savannah will stay. BTW, you wrote at http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month062002/msg00053.html "and just now, visiting savannah, I don't see any sign of a mailing list archive." Sure, there are none for lynx. All are at http://mail.nongnu.org/archive/html/ And I don't think subscribers-only is the way to go. Just think about. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], dyndns.org} ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
