OK sounds like everybody thinks we'll benefit from this move. > However, before moving there were few concerns that we would like to > discuss upon: > > 1.

I can ask if Dave Miller would be willing to import "old" archives, but that may not work as they are not vger archives. In any case we should keep the "old" archives at linux.omap.com, and I can also mirror the .gz file on kernel.org just in case. Then on linux.omap.com we can have links to "old" archives and "new" archives. So in general, I'd assume we'll be referring to linux.omap.com archives for the "old" discussions. > 2.

I'd assume "who" is disabled by default on vger because of spammers, and the subscriber lists are only available to the maintainers. I'm thinking we'll just ask people to resubscribe to the new list rather than import the old list. > 3.

How about let's plan on starting to use linux-omap@vger.kernel.org list full time on Dec 1st? We can set it up immediately and then will have few weeks to move over. > Thank you all for the support in building this strong community for > OMAP. Yeah it's nice to see that we have a pretty decent omap development community now :) Tony
