I don't know if I'm for splitting the mailing list up into several lists.
As others have said, it would then make it "sort of" like a forum - I would be checking several folders in my mailing client, and maybe missing out on some important or interesting post... Are others in favour of doing this? Or not? ---- Original Message ---- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WSG] Purpose of this mailing list Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2004 16:15:35 +1100 > >> I might just point out some of the other WSG bits & pieces >> that many people >> probably aren't aware of: >> - the resources section >> <http://webstandardsgroup.org/resources/> (which I >> believe everyone on the list is able to add to) >> - the WSG CMS list (buggered if I can remember how you join... >Pete?) > >Thanks Lindsay. > >It's only had 8 posts so far (4 from me). >See http://www.mail-archive.com/cms%40webstandardsgroup.org/ > >To join, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with >"subscribe cms" >(no quotes) as the body (not subject). > >The [WSG] is added at the mail server so Taco's would be an addition >to that >which I can't see working (I'd forget every time). > >I'm happy to set up different lists if you like, but maintenance >would be a >bit weird.
