Sidestepping the argument, what about the independent mailing list discussed at the meeting. I had thought after one week we would have one up and running? (I am assuming that osie.org.uk is just redirected to fensystems at the moment - is that correct ?)
osie.org.uk is currently just a placeholder domain - www.osie.org.uk is redirected to the old Fen Systems Resource Library (as being the most appropriate content I had available at the time should anyone mistakenly type the address in), but I haven't publicised the address www.osie.org.uk and so I'm not expecting anyone to visit it.
it's not really appropriate for all the osie discussion. I think the OSE lists need to now boil down to the core people interested in doing the work and running the server - so I would agree, we need our own list. It is great to have so many comments from people in general, but the people with an interest in doing the work need a focused list where we can discuss the raw details of what we want to do. I am sure that most people on the SuSE list don't care if we are OSE or OSIE or where the server is hosted - but these are things the admin team (as I guess it will become) have to decide on before we can move further.
osie-general@lists.sourceforge.net is available *if* we want it. In much the same way that I registered osie.org.uk and osie.org so that they were definitely available if wanted, I have also created a project "osie" on SourceForge. Do we want to migrate to osie-general@lists.sourceforge.net (or osie-anything@lists.sourceforge.net)? Michael
