Re: [PLUG] Meeting mailing list?

Isn't the announce list already a separate mailing list?

I forgot we already had that!

Announce is a separate list - but I have no idea if it is no-digest-only
(granted, I have no idea why you'd use digest on a low-volume list like
that).

Obviously if you think about it a digest is unnecessary and defeats the purpose; the disallow digest thought was just a fail-safe.


However, a suggestion would be to give everybody who coordinates a meeting
site write access to the announce list.  It would only be used in
emergencies like the one we just had.

Interestingly, when I click the http://lists.netisland.net/archives/plug-announce/ link I am silently re-directed to http://lists.netisland.net/archives/plug/...

So I'm not really sure if this list really exists or works. But if working it would solve the problem, if we remember to use it.

Thanks,
JP

implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
