Elephant walker is capable and I registered oionsig.org a while ago (when
this was an issue for me - I think it was April). My ISP allows GNU
Mailman, so that shouldn't be a problem. Also, you're free to start a Yahoo
Club, or host the site on SourceForge (you could set it up so that it was a
MBSD or ASL licensed site for extensions, mods, etc. specifically slanted to
Orion's implementation of J2EE).
What do you suggest, keeping in mind that this only accomplishes the task of
further fragmenting the community (as IronFlare will still only post the
link to their mailserver on their site, so part of the admin's job would be
to spam this list with announcements and run copy-to scripts).
