Please could you create a mailing list for the Wikimedia Research Network; until now we have been operating with a large CC list, but very infrequently because of the unmanagability of such a solution. Note that wiki-research-l is /not/ appropriate (it is explicitly for research conducted outside the auspices of the WRN). Many thanks, James F.
Is this a public or private list? What's its purpose?
It's a mailing list for discussion of the Wikimedia Research Network (see the URL). Isn't the list admin (who would be James F.) able to set whether it is a public or private list? Chris
(In reply to comment #1) > Is this a public or private list? What's its purpose? Public (it would mainly be an announce list, but with some back-and-forth every now and then). If you really insist, I can set up my own mailing list personally, but that has the disadvantage of being dependent on me, and less easily findable.
Just wondering how to set it up and who to put on it. :) I now have an admin, but no name requested for the list...

I know it doesn't have "wiki" as a sub-string, but I think we can live just this once. ;-) And you're the first person to put onto the list - I'm looking forward to all the work you're going to be doing as a member of the Research Network, in your Copious Free Time(tm) ;-D
Created: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/research-network-l True story: when I was a wee child I thought "copious" meant "not very much", since I only ever heard it used in the sarcastic phrase "copious spare time".
