I had posted an idea the other day regarding setting up a sandbox/misc community, where there is a minimal barrier to entry as regards to setting up a project mailing list. (This is mostly for projects that do not fall neatly within the scope of an existing CG.) This would also be useful as a temporary holding pen when the appropriate group has fallen into a defunct status. (It seems that resurrecting the dead may be harder than starting a new community). The idea is if the project takes flight, it could be promoted to a community, or if not a community moved to an appropriate group when a formal proposal is ready. -Brian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
