Welcome Bob!

OK, I have the membership list from David. We are nearly ready, just 
a few issues. 

1. Timing. David, you you want to announce that the OE list is about 
to migrate? If you can't, I will, but it would be better if you 
could.

2. Who should the owners be? Having the list password is almost as 
good as being list owner, because you can edit the list 
configuration, including who the "owner" is. Being listed officially 
as owner makes your email appear on the user pages, and you will also 
receive copies of the administrative requests such as subscription 
requests.

Bob, Abe wants you as a dialogue owner. Currently it is Myself, Bob, 
and Abe.

David, do you want to continue as a list owner? Harry has agreed to 
help in a backup role. Harry, shall we list you as an owner, or just 
lurk as one who knows the password?

I have experience maintaining mailman lists and I honestly don't 
think it's much work. But it is important to have backups. For 
example, I'll be gone the last two weeks of June. Also, I really like 
having a team to discuss list issues with, though there may not be 
much to discuss once things settle down.

Hey! I got a $12.00 contribution from Richard and Gail West! My plan 
is to wait a while and make sure our host is OK, then pay for more 
years with contributions rather than pay myself back. Initially we 
have the lists for one year and the domain name for two.
