Proposal: Rename haskell@ to haskell-announce@

[neil]

pretty much what would be haskell-announce@ anywhere else, and haskell-cafe@ what would be haskell@ elsewhere. A haskell-cafe@ list elsewhere would probably be where the haskell@ people discuss things which aren't actually related to Haskell (like e.g. the demon.local newsgroup). I think the number of posts in the wrong place would be lower if these were more conventionally named (although there aren't a lot of them anyway).

I think it would make sense to:

* Rename haskell@ to haskell-announce@, and redirect mails from haskell@

to haskell-announce@ for some period.

Deadline for discussion is 23 October 2007.

I wholeheartedly support this proposal. As Haskell continues to get more attention, there will be more and more misdirected posts, and it's a distraction to have to point people to the right list.

This proposal seems to be abandoned
