And I'm consequently a mild +1 for the original proposal.

There is nothing in open-ils-dev's remit that should forbid or 
discourage discussion of any technical topic, including system 
administration.  Nonetheless, if there is active interest in a new 
forum, I would rather that we let it run as a mindful experiment under 
the Evergreen banner rather than risk the discussion not happening at 
all or taking place elsewhere.  If a sysadmin list gets little traffic, 
it is easy enough to close it, just as it would be easy to create it in 
the first place.  If it seems to be wandering into the wheat fields (the 
land of silos, natch), we can work together to draw it back into the fold.

However, I would like to riff off a comment that Dan Scott made on IRC 
earlier today: if a sysadmin list gets created but folks start 
"answering" questions with the response "You're on the wrong list!  Go 
away!", I would immediately move to collapse *all* Evergreen project 
into open-ils-general. ;)

Regards,

Galen
