I'm going to take a moment to bring back something I mentioned some time
ago - multiple mailing lists.
I strongly recommend we split the list to keep the user requests away from
development or design. We seem to have need for a development and design
discussion, which I want to keep off the main user list. The existing list
could then be used for assistance and announcements, which should hopefully
keep the bandwidth down a little. The new list could then take all the
traffic we've been seeing with regards everyone's desire to help, to discuss
even if individuals do not possess technical knowledge.
I know I'm no crypto expert, but I am a programmer and I'd like to think
I've got a little bit of common sense, I've already been taking a look at
the potential for messing with packets, so as a result I believe I have
something I may be able to contribute into a discussion about the matter.
I've seen many others with similar desires and differing abilities.
We have two user bases - end users and contributors. Let's make use of this
while we can.
