I would like to propose splitting the list in two: [email protected]
and hackers-/[email protected]  I use the word "hackers" as a synonym for
"developers," like the *BSD and other mailing lists are prone to do, but
this is certainly open for discussion.

The rationale behind this is twofold.  First of all, I was planning to
move this list to bsdevents.org anyway.  There is significant interest
in not having organizational ties (e.g., with Daemon News and other
commercial entities), which is the primary reason for the move.  But
relocating it just makes more sense. :-)

Secondly, bsdevents.org and bsdadvocacy.org are currently separate
projects.  As such, it should be straightforward that not everyone will
necessarily want to work on both sites.  So, out of convenience to these
individuals, we should have 2 lists.

If there are no objections, I will volunteer to set up the mailing lists
if the respective sysadmins would install list software (e.g. mailman).
I see that bsdevents.org already has such software in place so I will
move the archives there and configure the list this week.

Joshua:

How are you operating bsdadvocacy.org?  If you're issuing shell
accounts, I'd like to have one.
