Alan,
The sort of solution that you envision is precisely what I
said in the original solication:
>> [...] If the function of one of these mailing lists
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>> is already duplicated elsewhere, then please replace the contents
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>> of our mailing list with the email address of the other mailing list.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>> We are not trying to create competing mailing lists, but do want to
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>> make sure that mail that is sent to foo-{developers,bugs,questions}
>> at yggdrasil.com is routed to the correct people, so please make
>> sure that these mailing lists do the right thing.
I got some angry mail from Brent a while ago, so I deleted
the lists here, but I would be happy to set them up again as closed
lists the way you suggested:
majordomo-questions@yggdrasil.com = majordomo-users@greatcircle.com
majordomo-delvelopers@yggdrasil.com = majordomo-workers@greatcircle.com
I suggest that you guys discuss it amongst yourselves and let me
know what you want me to do. I think the "-bugs" list would be the
most useful to you, so I would suggest that you add:
majordomo-bugs@yggdrasil.com = majordomo-workers@greatcircle.com
BTW, a number of people have said that they'd prefer something
more decentralized than a single site acting as a switchboard, probably
involving a publishing a database of mailing lists and perhaps some
sort of distributed standard way of keeping track of bugs (probably
a gopher interface to gnats). So, I don't think that these mailing
lists will be the ultimate solution that ends up being developed.
Nevertheless, I think these mail aliases will remain, so I encourage
you to participate in what we have set up now if it's not too much
bother for you.
