Ok, if this list is not going to make it I only see 2 options (feel free to add more):
- We drop the requirement to keep the domain name for the list and migrate
everyone to the new list.
- We create the additional new list while keeping the old one. The new list is
for the communication with the kernel developers.
Opinions ?
I think that having two lists would be a hassle and a mistake. To have two lists at one host might work, but one list at VGER and another somewhere else could be counter-productive, as "internal" communication would be constantly forwarded to the kernel list, and relevant kernel traffic would have to be forwarded back to the "internal" list. Think about that for a second. Eventually, we would probably just drop one list.
If one list is O(n), then two lists are O(n^2) for anyone who needs both. I vote for one list, no matter where it's hosted.
commercial solution (EMWD): - spam filtering - open-mesh.net - small price < US$20/month
open source host (VGER, freelists.org) - spam filtering - their-domain.com - no price - we get added to their project directory, so potential contributors see us
