asterisk users - Oct 2006 - Would you support a Bristuff mailing list ?

Hi,

It seems to me that Bristuff usage has reached a point which implies a
dedicated mailing list.
This list would be of major use for :
- bugs assessment
- features requests
- comments on Asterisk news

Who seconds that ?
Would it be difficult to make this happen ?

Regards

In general, I like the idea, but...

Would enough people subscribe to it to make it work?

Where would it be hosted? - assuming you use mailman, there would need
to be a web/mail server, 1 or more sysadmins to administer the list
(ever been the victim of a mail loop?).  This will require a not
insignificant amount of somebodies time and bandwidth.

Not that I am trying to put you off the idea, but it does need to be
considered very carefully.

In general junghanns.net should host it. But looking at how
active they are I dont see this happen.
If enough people want a list like this I can setup one. I
have both the software running for a bunch of other lists
and I have unmetered bandwidth.

"Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called
users?"

Hi,

Up to now, I can think of 6 people claming interest in such list.

As bristuff somehow modifies Asterisk, people using bristuff and asking
support in Asterisk User list will be forwarded to this list.
So this number should be growing.

Maybe, a core of 20 people would be enough to turn this idea into something
successful.
I think we can easily reach this target.

So ?
