Hi, Sanford wrote to move the mailing list to google groups. I think thats *very important* to get some fresh air into the discussions and to invite more people to take part in certain developments. Easy access is the very first part. People who are not programmers usually do not have a SF.net lo

All - Couple of thoughts: 1. Keeping BO on a school server or on SF is one way, I might also highly recommend using google groups for the mailing list service and their ongoing feature growth. With the search capabilities and the chance to reference the material once again might be a good idea

As the owner of the domain "blueobelisk.org" and current host of the BO sites, I agree with all that has been said. The most important thing: We need a stable location. My choice would be SourceForge and I've taken the freedom to register the project *blueobelisk* at SourceForge. SF allows us to as

Considering the upcoming closure of CUBIC (as I understand it) could I suggest moving the BO mailing list? For a number of months it has been impossible to subscribe to the mailing via the web interface, which means that we may have lost a number of potential contributors. Do others agree? Severa
