I now created a seperate mailing list for discussion of enhancements
in cygwin32 support to get questions about such things off this list.
It's running under majordomo on my home server (weiser.saale-net.de)
which is connected to the Internet using a 28.800 bps modem. Although
this link is very reliable in my experience it's also very slow. As I
poll my ISP twice a day at 16:10 and 3:00 CEST (which are IMHO 14:10
and 3:00 UTC) it certainly won't be the the fastest anyway. ;)
But if demand and number of subsribers grow I could move it to a
machine located in my ISPs backbone with 24h internet access.

Okay, now here's the info on how to subscribe:

English:

This list is dedicated to discussion of enhancements in
support of the cygwin32 environment. Especially creation of
a newsgroup and IRC channel should be discussed here. It was
created to get questions about it off the real gnuwin32
support list gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com.

If you have support questions on cygwin32 environment or
other gnuwin32 projects like egcs-mingw32 and gcc-mingw32
please join the support list and post them there.

Diese Liste dient der Diskussion von Ideen zur Erweiterung
des Supports fuer die cygwin32-Umgebung. Besonders das
Anlegen von Newsgroup oder IRC-Channels sollten hier
diskutiert werden. Sie wurde angelegt um Fragen zu diesem

fernzuhalten.

Wenn du eine Support-Frage zu cygwin32 oder einem anderen
gnuwin32-Projekt hast, bitte joine die Support-Liste und
poste sie dort.

Diese Liste kannst du mit einer Mail an
