Re: [UG-ADMINS] What about making this list public on https://www.mail-archive.com/

It sounds like there is a strong desire for a public facing presence that
is [perhaps] more accessible to new UGs and to the community at large than
this list currently is;

But at the same time, there is a desire for a private discussion area where
we can "talk shop" about things specific to UG admins that do not need to
be (and in some cases, perhaps should not be) publicly readable/accessible.

Is there a convenient way to both have our cake and eat it too?
