[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: The lists I monitor
Simon, I *prefer* lists that are hosted outside the W3C, esp on Yahoo. They're easy to administer, relay the mail quickly, and have a neutral feel to them that takes discussions out of academia and into the practical world of content engineering, design and writing. Henry makes a common mistake -- Yahoo lists have a preference setting that determine whether archives are open to non-members. It defaults to false, which imho is a mistake, but it's easy to turn it on, it's a web form with a check box. Check it, click on Submit and voila, your archives are public. BTW, there's a downside to using Yahoo that should be disclosed. They're a struggling dotcom now, and they clearly don't understand how much important work is being done on their service. One day they could turn the service off, and then we'd have a big problem on our hands. They just hired a new CEO from the movie business of all places. This does not bode well, imho.
