Mailing lists and stuff...

Hi,

in the process of thinking about what work is appropriate for
combining AUCTeX and preview-latex, I am considering moving our
mailing lists over to gnu.org.  I would propose the following scheme
there:

[email protected]        General discussion about AUCTeX
[email protected]    Bug reports
[email protected]   Announcements
[email protected]  Developer list

The old lists would get rerouted as follows

preview-latex-devel -> auctex-devel
preview-latex-bugs -> bug-auctex
auc-tex            -> auctex

It would be expected that developers also read bug-auctex (I don't see
a really compelling reason to autosubscribe auctex-devel to
bug-auctex).  By keeping the traffic on bug-auctex to bug reports and
their resolution, only directing technical discussions to
auctex-devel, the usefulness of archiving and list sorting software
should be higher.

I don't think that there is much sense in a separate help-auctex list
for which people have little incentive except masochism to
subscribe...  I am willing to be persuaded otherwise, but this needs
to be accompanied with offers of people that will then subscribe for
the purpose of _giving_ help on a continuing basis.  Of course, the
idea of a separate list that will magically help is nice, but without
genie support...

Comments?
