I'm happy either way - I can also spin you up another list on exim.org
without any problems. I have a slight preference to having a separate
list - especially if we can get non-exim people involved (they might
appreciate not being buried in exim-users, we should benefit from a
different world view).

jeff@??? sugegsted (paraphrased - not quoted):-
- move to sourceforge - as a non-denomination project
- use higher level markup for the document
- add more information

I'm happy about the first 2. If we this grows like topsy, then I think
we need to have a max 2 A4 page (equivalent) max summary document that
gives the basics (with URL refs to the big document). A huge document
will not be read by our main target audience IMHO.


I would like to get a copy, as soon as people are at least half happy 
with it, and
  a) put it on exim.org
  b) send it to, or at least URL refer to it, each new subscriber in
     the welcome message.
