[sugar] Proposal: Activity developers mailing list

[Greg Smith]

Hi Marco et al,

I understand. In general, I'm impartial on this subject. I can live with 
the new organization if there is consensus from the key stake holders, 
especially my boss.

I think the sugarlabs is doing great and appears very well organized. 
Keep it up!

I want to read all the e-mails that are important for XO users and I 
want to skip anything not directly relevant to them. I'll archive and 
maintain links to the rest in case I need to look something up.

Knowing my perspective, let me know if you have any suggestions on how I 
can optimize my efficiency with the new communication channels.

"We can rebuild him, we have the technology ... better than he was 
before, better, stronger, faster!"

Thanks,
