Once a project gets rolling, it will probably need its own mailing list
just to keep the main mailing list clean.

And...   It would take our fearless leader less than 60 seconds of
pointing and clicking in order to create a new project mailing list at
SourceForge, complete with mail archives, primo spam protection and all
that other jazz.  Not to mention that they will host your web and FTP
sites on ultra-high-bandwidth lines, with the load spread across
multiple high availability servers, maintained by a paid admin staff
(yes "paid admin staff", not just "admin").

<plug plug>   I'm not a VA employee, just a pleased-with-sourceforge
open source developer  ;-)
