Eh, because you believe a new lists.d.o list could take a bit of delay, an alioth list is better? Sorry, but I don't agree with the reasoning -- lists.debian.org is for general discussion lists, while alioth is more for packaging-specific projects or for new projects that haven't gone anywhere yet. Web applications in Debian are already numerously packaged, and the need is obvious for a list to coordinate this and to write a sane policy about it. I'm strongly in favour of a lists.debian.org, and I'm sure it'll be created swiftly when we choose a sane name for it. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
