Mailing List

Presently there is only one such list that is intended for internal use by developers. The list of members and message content are both private. At the group homepage new members can be sent an invitation to join by any current member (though I think that one of Robert, George or Scott must approve). The list is unmoderated.

As soon as we have users who are not developers we should add a user mailing list.
