This sounds familiar. :) Honestly, I wouldn't mind combining them all. Just today I was pinged by an !expn in IRC and thought to myself, "how many times have I typed the wrong command to translate a group name into a list of members?" Is there any way to just have one list of groups, and by all means we can have a group-type as an attribute if that serves any purpose at all, and we can either name the group by an email alias, or assign an alias to a group? Ideally the same list would be used to populate the mail aliases. That seems like it would make life much easier on anybody writing software that accesses such lists, and perhaps we'd stop worrying about what exactly a herd or a project or an alias is, and which ones need to elect leads, and which ones don't, and maybe just let each do whatever makes the most sense for the job at hand. -- Rich
