No worries. :)

To be fair, the idea has been around for a while for various reasons but
now seems like a good time to bring it to life.

Hi Mo,

Now I'm wondering if we listened to the same audio? About 2 minutes-worth
starting at 22:30.

To the best of my knowledge, that's not the case at all. Aleks,
Charles and Jemima tend to be fairly well-informed...

[backstage] Welcome to: Friends of Backstage

[Tim Dobson]

Hi there,

We all enjoy the Backstage list and any sort of uncertainty about the
lists future isn't particularly encouraging, especially with suggestions
that it's winding down.

I've therefore setup an independent "Friends of Backstage" list to
ensure we can continue the conversations, questions and discussions
whatever the BBC overlords decide to do.

Not only is it a mailing list, it's a *Mailman* mailing list.
*shock horror*

Well Jemima qualifies ³end of bbc backstage² by saying ³not being pushed off
a cliff, but winding down². That could easily be one developer saying this
list is a bit quiet. I think really the news is about the Guardian wanting
to open-up their ³Open platform² by inviting other developer communities,
like BBC backstage into the mix.

Anyone know anything about the ³Open platform² ?

That's a shame. I may be a lurker but I always enjoy reading and
following up on what I read here  :(
