Re: [xsl] Is there a forum frontend mirror/emulation for this mailing-list?

[List Owner <xsl-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

XSL-List is administered the way it is for the convenience and budget 
of the people who provide it as a free service to the community. We 
at Mulberry Technologies find that the old-fashioned text-only 
mailing list format is an inexpensive way to provide a lot of 
information to a lot of people.

While we know that it is not to everyone's taste, we believe that 
there is nothing that would make everyone in this community happy. 
There are participants who would prefer other options: some would 
like to be able to include attachments to list postings, or to post 
messages in HTML or Base-64. Some would like a different default 
setting on list reply or a different frequecy on mailing the digest 
version of the list. Some want to recieve only postings that are of 
interest to them, some want to be able to edit the list archives, 
some would prefer other user interfaces, some would like guarantees 
that their questions will be answered promptly and correctly. It has 
been suggested that we translate the list postings and archive into 
other languages so that it was more accessible for people who have 
limited English.

We at Mulberry will be happy to announce any of these new services 
should someone choose to provide them to the community. However, at 
least for the moment, we will stick with this format.
