I don't think there are many. There's an idea Jeroen Roovers posted (message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ) that would, AFAIK, solve the problem for infra, while still giving AT/HTs a distinctive address. Unfortunately, noone seemed to pickup on it besides me. (No other comments to the subthread, thus I'm changing the title this time around, hoping to get a bit better response.) Here's the proposal again. If there's an issue with it, shoot it down, but from here, it certainly seems to fit the bill. Again, I'd /love/ to say I was the one that came up with it, but I wasn't. =8^) * give [AH]Ts a <name>[EMAIL PROTECTED] address. - It's not a subdomain, so the existing infrastructure should have no problems with it. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] remains distinctive enough it should alleviate any doubts or confusion over status. - the biggest possible objection I can see is that the root, [EMAIL PROTECTED], is already in use. Thus, in particular, I'd like to see his reaction to this proposal. We could, of course, take the same idea and change the root, if necessary. My previous suggestion, intern, would work, or assistant, or something else. Tester is of course short and concise, but intern or assistant would be more generic, allowing the possiblity of other non-tester additions, in the future, with the same root. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
