Re: SUGGESTION: haskell-announce mailing list
"Simon Marlow"
I'm happy to set up and moderate haskell-announce@haskell.org if there's a general consensus that this would be a useful thing.
I think there are enough announcements on the haskell list, to warrant having a separate announce list. It would make filtering announcements to a separate folder much easier too.
As to whether we should merge haskell and haskell-café - personally I wasn't in favour of the split at the time, but I recall that support was roughly 50/50 in favour. Unless there's an overwhelming majority in favour of a merge I suggest we leave things as they are.
I don't have a strong opinion on this either way, however I agree with some of the earlier comments that it only really makes sense to have two different lists if their agenda are more clearly distinct. (IMHO "cafe" is too vague.) Jens

"cafe" has the pleasing connotation that people new to the Haskell fora should feel free to post their questions without fearing that they're bothering the important business of the list of whatever - it makes it very obviously a friendly, open forum. -- Mark

I think the notion of a cyber cafe works well in project oriented mailing
lists. It has worked well for KDE folks, too.
