"A community for young freedom lovers, but only in North West England so far..."
Not only is this a hideously long name for a mailing list, but its now
incorrect. Can this be fixed?

Yes, but first we will have to have a debate, then we will have 2 weeks of voting, then we will have to have another vote.

Then we will have to wait several further weeks whilst the proposed plan goes through administration.

Yours sweetly,

Don't forget that someone will post an objection in the last minute, and we'll have to do it all over again.

Of course - there's loads of stuff that needs updating

What do you suggest?

Would like to be responsible for drawing consensus on what to change it to?

If you don't already have the relevant info, I can give you the info to
change it if you'd like?

There is also another mailman description field which is the html
describing it on the signup page - do you want to do that too?

Cheers,

Tim

How about this for a title:

"A community for the development of freedom in the lives of youths,
developed and driven by young people based in Her Majesty's United
Kingdom with a view to expanding to the rest of the world and beyond,
with a special interest to the New DFEY Mars Colony set to commence in
2045 after our members have perfected teraforming on the moon - oh,
and we like programming and Linux :p"

short enough?

thanks,

Its the *name* of the mailing list, it should be DFEY North West or
DFEY NW. As for the actual description, "A community for young freedom
lovers, North West England branch.". As long as the mailing list page
points to dfey.org, I think everything should be okay.
