[Haskell-cafe] PROPOSAL: Rename haskell@ to haskell-announce@

[Neil Mitchell]

Hi

There are four things sent to the haskell list@

1) Calls for papers
2) Annoucements
3) Oleg's stuff (which are really announcements of a library or technique)
4) Off topic stuff

I'm initially only proposing to mop up category 4, which I am pretty
sure the haskell@ people don't want to see.

I did wonder whether this discussion should take place on the haskell@
list or the haskell-cafe@ one - the great ambiguity of the lists.

This proposal has nothing to do with any future steps. They may
happen, they may not, but I think this proposal is worthwhile on its
own.

Thanks

Neil
