16 Hello,
17
18 I think a valid point (which I certainly hold) is that for those of us
19 who would really like to be able to get stuck in and help in some way it
20 would be very useful to be able to sit in and observe the discussions
21 between the core developers. I'm not yet educated enough in the ways of
22 Gentoo to be able to help in a meaningful way, but the more information
23 I can absorb the quicker I and others will get there.

25 Can we have the list made open to subscription by anyone, even if
26 posting is reserved for the core team?

28 Cheers,
