I posted a questionnaire on the os.education Smartgroup, to further
explore the question of a schoolforge.org.uk e-mail list.
Many thanks to those who who responded! Basically, they support the view
that this SuSe list suits most purposes.
A new list might serve an administrative function for Schoolforge UK,
but 50% would rather not subscribe to another mailing list.
Someone suggested we should get in touch with SuSe - I'll do that.
Regards,
John Ingleby

Subject: Which e-mail list?
Date: 17 Apr 2003 11:00:09 +0100
I posted a vote on the matter of "Which e-mail list?" on the Smartgroup
site created by Larry Walker, and you can see the results over at
http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/os.education
Basically, out of 11 voters:
3 want to use this SuSe list as the list for Schoolforge UK.
3 would like a new list @schoolforge.uk.org.
3 feel we should do both, with distinct purposes for each,
1 suggested we alias a new @schoolforge.org.uk list to this one,
in effect merging the two.
1 suggested we continue with this list for now, while keeping
the option open for a new list when we can see it's needed.
The majority of voters are in favour of keeping this SuSe list as the
vehicle for Schoolforge UK, at least for now.
To get some ideas about the purposes for a new list, I've added an
open-ended questionnaire. Please do take a look at the Smartgroup site,
and add your feedback to the questionnaire. I'll try to summarise the
results after April 30.
With best regards,
John Ingleby
