So, do we have an agreement ? And maybe you Bob can be the third administrator / moderator ? I can't do anything without you. What I proposed: 1- Move it to Savannah. 2- Create a lynx-dev there. 3- Create a lynx-announce there. Thomas sends announcements about new releases (and /temp patches) to both. 4- Subscribe all users from the old lynx-dev to the new and send them a message about the move. They have to reply to it / follow the instructions to get subscribed. Yes, we could just add the 140+ automatically, but we don't know how many are still "valid". Or we can. Opinions ? 5- Contact the lynx-dev-contrib subscribers and ask if they want to be added in a list of addresses that can only post. 6- If someone tries to subscribe to the old lynx-dev and lynx-dev-contrib, send them a message about the move. The same could be made for messages from non subscribers. But then you'd probably send hundreds of e-mails back to spammers. 7- Remove the spam from the FLORA.org archives. I already did it for 2000-January 2004 (thanks to Pine), and really don't think there was any before it. Well, there was one in December 1999, but that's probably all. A spam (probably from a subscriber) in thousands of messages isn't that bad. 90% or more was. The move can't be done by us. We'd have to contact the Savannah people (and persuade them ?). 8- Once we're done we can ask FLORA.org to redirect everything under http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/ to the main page of the new archives. -- http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
