Oh, that's disappointing. The list was used for much more than just administrative issues. It's unfortunate to see the IETF and W3C take steps backwards in terms of transparency. > The public list (used for all other matters) is [email protected]. That list hasn't seen any traffic since July, indeed it's only had thirteen e-mails in the last five months, and only two of those were from W3C staff. I think it would be a stretch to say that that list is used for any matters, let alone "all other" matters. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
