Right, and you have not told me *why* you want to require me to write a GNU Mailman patch so that mono development can be discussed in the open. Your way is no easier to maintain then just *simply* creating a new mono mailing list like you have done for all the others. In fact it is *harder* to maintain because it requires a hack around GNU Mailman. > > No, I don't think I am confused.

Ok, so everyone in mono-hackers that wishes to discuss the technical development of mono can subscribe. They will have automatic post rights. No patch required. > I have requested the sysadmins to create the list, but it wont be > enabled until you send me the above described patch. I don't see why this should be about 'Adam wanting to make this happen' because this concerns the entire Mono community. Right now, mono technical discussion is going on behind a closed list that is not open to all mono developers. This is a matter of openness. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
