Ok, education@ should now be created, and chris should be list admin.
Feel free to reach out to me if there are any issues.

Cheers,

Any news on this?  Would love to help any way I can, but I am not sure what
to do next.

Sounds good. Ccing Sandy, who has volunteered to start helping with
mail stuff. Sandy -- do you need any further details in setting this
up, or do you think it should be straightforward?

Good point, Simon.  education@ sounds like a good choice, with the
understanding that we mean education for the general population, not
classes in type theory or category theory!

Is this a possibility?  Anything else I can do to move this forward?

Good idea.   “k12” is rather USA specific. What about 
educat...@haskell.org?

Hey,

Is there a process to request a new mailing list on the 
haskell.org
 domain?

Here's my use case.  About 25 Haskell programmers met at ICFP to discuss uses 
of Haskell in K-12 education (for non-US readers, that means before 
university).  I'm also in touch with another half-dozen people who either have 
done, or are doing, something pre-university with Haskell, but could not be at 
ICFP.  The main result of our conversation was that we wanted a common place to 
discuss, report on our experiences, look for productive collaborations and 
common threads, etc.  There are already a few project-specific places, e.g. the 
codeworld-discuss mailing list for my own project, but we were explicitly 
looking for something general-purpose and universal.  It would be great if this 
could be, say, "k...@haskell.org" or something like 
that.

I'm pretty open in terms of how we'd administer the list.  I'm willing to do 
the work of handling obvious spam bots and things like that.  If there's a 
feeling we'd need something more than that, then let's have that discussion.  
We explicitly don't want a strict topicality enforcement, though.  For example, 
several people who attended the dinner at ICFP were also interested in 
functional programming for non-majors at the university level, or were using 
Elm and other Haskell-like languages - even a few people from the Racket 
community.  I'd hope to rely on the name of the mailing list to keep things a 
bit focused, but not really police it at all.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Chris Smith
