I'm with Fred here: I don't think that we have a good reason to expire any of the lists. They don't really "cost" anything much in maintenance (except maybe some time on the behalf of the list administrators). I think we should let the list administrators suggest list removal instead of enforcing a expiry mechanism. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Oct 17 2005) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,FreeBSD for free ! :::: _______________________________________________ Meta-sig maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/meta-sig
