Awesome! Thanks Chris! I've updated
http://evergreen-ils.org/listserv.php to point to the archives of this
mailing list.

> To be clear, (and I'm saying this to the community as a whole, not necessarily to you, Dan) the goal has never been to be a "closed" or "exclusive" group, but to keep communication at a manageable level.  I realize that the effect has been that it seems opaque - just know that our goals have been around fair representation of all stakeholders while keeping the group at a manageable size.

Right, I think that the "manageable size" problem gets introduced when
we use conference calls to communicate rather than mailing lists.
Conference calls don't scale! And we didn't exactly get a deluge of
responses to the first draft of the rules of governance, so hopefully
we'll be able to migrate the bulk of the discussion over here.

Thanks again,
Dan
