re: Donation for List

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Frank,

When you're looking, I would say an important feature is to have an 
integrated list archive so we don't have problems with external archive 
sites (like AMXfiles.com) getting un-subscribed and people assuming the 
list is down. Having this would also cut down on some of the confusion in 
the past about who owns what when there are problems (for example, when the 
archives on AMXfiles.com quit working, people post to the list about it 
instead of sending a message to Jim Stone). It would also be nice if 
archive items stuck around forever instead of going away after a year. Lots 
of valuable info has publicly disappeared because of that.
