I don't think there's a need for restricted access, and it would be opposite to the way we try to do everything in the open. What you need is 1) a way to be contacted directly by those who need (apprentices) 2) a way to discuss within members of the team, but maybe other people too if some want to join the discussion For 1), I think your @mageia.org address once you will get one is sufficient. It's only one means of communication among others (MLs, forums, wiki), so I don't think a group is necessarily needed for that. You can still forward requests you can't handle yourself. For 2), I don't know what is better : - use an existing mailing list - create a new one I think you must try to use direct e-mail among you only when there's a good reason to avoid public discussion. Saying that it's not of general interest is not a good enough reason, I think. Do you have other reasons for wanting a private mailing list ? Best regards Samuel Verschelde
