Hi Ray, I don't think it'd matter to me whether the community ran the list or my own company did. What I believe we're seeing is there's support for a mail list. Oracle seems to say they don't want to expend IT resources to maintain the list. That's fine. It's their perogative and as I said above, I don't see anything wrong with that. If anything, the perception is better to have a community run mailing list. Simply shows there's support out in the field for the product. I suspect a good Mar-Comm person can turn this information into very good press. Lew has said he's willing to maintain a new list. He's even gone out and picked up `vboxusers.org' Hats off to Lew! I'm with Lew, whatever people want to do: sourceforge.net or his list. It'd be ideal if we could get VirtualBox's website to point to the new list. Whatever we decide.
