D'oh!  Silly copy/paste error on my part.

That should read "... and have all Freecom stuff go to freedos-devel."

Sorry about that.

Close down the list?

I've noticed that traffic on this list has decreased to the point of a 
trickle.  It's been suggested to me that we try to consolidate lists, to 
re-invigorate discussion among FreeDOS developers and focus discussion 
to relevant development topics.

Closing down some of the lists in order to funnel new users into a 
common discussion area does seem to be the best move.

I copied the list traffic stats into a spreadsheet so I could look for 
trends.  See http://www.freedos.org/jhall/temp/traffic/traffic.png

It's pretty clear that freedos-user, freedos-devel, and freedos-32-dev 
are the most active lists.  The others have declined in traffic since 
about Sept 2004, if they had any traffic to speak of.  That means the 
lists to close down would be freedos-devel-net, freedos-kernel, 
freedos-freecom, freedos-cvs, and fd-doc-list.

So, I'd like to close down freedos-freecom, and just have kernel stuff 
go to freedos-devel.  What do you think?  If you have any objections, 
please email me (off-list only ... I'm not subscribed to this list 
anymore) and let me know.

If I don't see any responses within the next week or so, I'll assume 
there's no one on this list anymore, and I'll go ahead and close it down.

Sounds like a good idea.
