However, as Matt pointed out ubuntu-devel and -discuss are supposed to be for development discussions. I think we can probably use IRC and the wiki page for communication that wouldn't be great for -devel.

I also feel like, as far as bugmail goes, a mailing list is easier to filter. I thought it'd be helpful to have an ubuntu-tex list, but now I think I was probably wrong, at least for the time being. If people are ok with having TeX talk here and on -devel then I'm fine with it. :-) -Jordan -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
