Fine for me.  And I appreciate it very much that you volunteer to
do the administration.

However, I have some strategical/economical/tactical considerations
on the subject:  One of the unwritten aims of this list is to encourage
users and developers to still count on both MiNT and the Atari platform,
isn't it?  From this point of view a group comp.os.mint on the usenet
would help a lot because it proves to the world that both the Atari
platform and MiNT are still alive and has quite a few users.

For the near future a majordomo maintained mailing list at fishpool.com
is perfectly alright but in longer terms I would prefer the usenet
solution.  Such a list is much more attended by the public than a
mailing list.

The same direction:  What about http://www.mint.org/, an "official"
MiNT web site?  Something has moved in the hardware sector, if we
don't hoist up ours sails now and profit from the wind coming from
that direction, when else?

Just an idea

Guido
