Hi, folks!
A long time ago we already had discussed about this, but let us try it again ...
It seems as if people looking for help with GPC do not find this mailing list, and even if they do, they might not want to subscribe but would prefer to have a look at us first.
Other people would like to stay up-to-date with information about GPC but are not interesting in our discussions.
So what about following the example of the DJGPP folks and do the following:
* Create a Usenet newsgroup `comp.lang.pascal.gnu'.
* Gate all emails to the GPC mailing list to the newsgroup and vice versa.
* Create an additional, moderated mailing list especially for GPC announcements.
This could be combined with a move of the GPC mailing list to a host which runs a list server software (majordomo) which would simplify subscribing and unsubscribung to the mailing list, allow for an automatic online list archive, etc. (I have one with the nice domain name `gnu.de'.:-)
What do you think?
We also would be glad if someone familiar with Usenet management (RfD, CfV, etc.) and/or setting up a mail/news gateway could take that job.
