[Haskell-cafe] Re: Creating a new Haskell mailing list

[Benjamin L.Russell]

Most likely, if you propose your new mailing list (on the Haskell
mailing list), the discussion will focus on whether it will be likely
to gather enough posts to stay reasonably active.  While the
definition of "reasonably active" differs depending on the individual,
it is likely to mean somewhere between an average of several posts per
week to one or two per day.  Your proposal will be more likely to pass
if you can demonstrate a reasonably strong demand for active
discussion in the Haskell community.

Alternatively, it is possible to create a Haskell-related mailing list
that is not hosted at haskell.org.  Haskell-Art (see the haskell-art
Info Page at http://lists.lurk.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-art and
The haskell-art Archives at
http://lists.lurk.org/pipermail/haskell-art/) is one example of such a
list.
