Karsten has had access to (trying to create) mailing lists but tells me it didn't work. The following is from an admin web page at Savannah:

We have so far 2 public lists (gnumed-devel, gnumed-update) and 1 private (gnumed-announce)

gnumed-devel (81 subscribed)

"information exchange for gnumed developers and contributors"

gnumed-update

"This list informs about relevant file updates within the gnumed project"

- is this meant to inform about updates to CVS

- are file updates *other* than CVS (like binaries) proposed to be advertised

   on gnumed-announce?

- this list is accumulating (mostly) spam, see

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnumed-update/2005-04/index.html

... shall I re-classify it as "private"? Will that cause anything we need to bounce?

gnumed-announce

- announcements regarding the gnumed project (low volume)

Sebastian had in mind:

From Savannah, the pattern for GNU projects is one of:

        *       address@hidden

        *       address@hidden

        *       address@hidden

        *       address@hidden

        *       address@hidden

Is it expected that gnumed-devel members will direct certain postings to the new list INSTEAD of onto gnumed-devel? Or do we expect that they will continue to post everything to gnumed-devel? So that the new lists would only be of interest to people not already on gnumed-devel?
