Re: [Ag Meinungsfindungstool] List organization (was International E-Democracy Talk)

Hi Mike,

Could we create such new mailinglist for discussion on this topics on 
metagovernment.org or should we use the 'normal' start AT metagovernment.org 
list for our discussion to avoid cross postings in the future?

Cheers
marc

Jumping in here, as I'm a list admin of adhocracy-dev. I'm not in favor
of such cross-postings, as adhocracy-dev is dedicated to the development
of the Adhocracy tool, and not about general discussion on
e-participation tools. I will thus reject further cross-postings in this
list.

Nevertheless, there's certainly overlapping interest between
adhocracy-dev subscribers and the current evolving discussion group.

I'd therefore suggest that you'll simply create a new discussion list
and write an announcement mail *once* to the other lists / addresses and
let users decide if they want to join in. I would :)

Cheers,
Nicolas
