I was somewhat concerned reading Mark's posting earlier today.
Obviously, things are very bad in the US at the moment. Their Government even deported Cat Stevens the other day (check http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/3686992.stm ).
Clearly, given the fact that Digium contributes so much to Asterisk, they shouldn't be forced to risk their company's future by hosting these mailing lists in such an unstable environment where they could get sued for any ridiculous reason. Even an unjustified, ambit claim could generate huge defence costs on Digium's part, and cripple their ability to contribute to Asterisk.
Therefore, it seems to be in the best interests of Asterisk's `security' to have the mailing lists hosted by someone other than Digium and maybe in a country that doesn't prohibit freedom of expression.
I would certainly be willing to organise hosting through another company that wouldn't be at risk from vexatious legal claims. This would allow genuinely open discussion on the lists and would mean that no messages would need to be censored from the archives.
