I have suggested this when the mod_wiki idea first came up and still support
it. I would probably subscribe to that list, too.

Regards,

Erik

Sounds good to me. Would you like to be its administrator?

mod_wiki is intended to be a possible next generation of the Wikipedia
software. Therefor, the most appropriate place to discuss it is here,
not on some ghettoized mailing list somewhere else.

I agree.

To clarify: Johnathan is working on mod_wiki for his own reasons,
separate from Wikipedia, but would like for it to be useful for
wikipedia too. He has indicated that his feelings won't be hurt if we
don't switch to it. Obviously, we would switch to it if it best suits
our needs at some point, and we wouldn't if it didn't.

Only if specific detailed discussions of it get too common or lengthy here,
and if it looked like we wouldn't be adopting it at all, then I would support
having a new mailing list.

Good. You, Erik and Jason should start Wikimod-l this week. Do you need
help setting it up?

Absolutely! As a Debian developer, I am committed to developing Free
Software wherever possible.

I have been asked that question when writing Phase II, so I'll ask it
now (just to make sure):

mod_wiki will be under GPL, yes?

Erm, I think that you misread Jonathan's post if you responded this way, Ed.
He's *against* a separate <wikimod-l> list.
