hi guys,

While i don't have a strong opinion on this whole thread, i really think
that local tools ( mailing-lists, websites ) should be handled by local
communities.

For example, the .fr platform already offers mailing-lists since 2006
and so far we have 9 active lists. PG Europe also has its own ressources.

From my perspective, i don't see the need of another centralized
mailing-list system on .org

Even if the project is small and people don't want to manage a
mailing-list software themself, there are free mailing-lists services
out there  ( yahoogroups and google groups are obvious ,but there are
alternatives too )
