RE: Is CDI dead?

Mark,

I agree with your sentiments. Even if the WG has completed, I'd like to 
keep the mailing list alive for precisely the sort of "2 or 3" that are 
still interested, (plus the other few hundred lurkers, of course :-)

Can the list hoster confirm that we can keep the list here?

Thanks,
John
