I see a real use for having a list to coordinate those contributing to development of libwin32, and would prefer that this not be tied to ActiveState (since I don't necessarily think this distribution will be maintained by ActiveState employees or users exclusively or forever). Does anyone have information on how to request a list on perl.org (since asking Ask doesn't seem to have worked)?
