Re: [gentoo-nfp] Communicate a plan to the users

[Alec Warner]

This list is primarily about the Gentoo Foundation (legal crap).  If
you want to start a thread about communication problems I would
suggest starting it on gentoo-pr, or gentoo-project.  The subscriber
base of this list is small in comparison and the conversation you want
to have should not happen here.

Thanks for your understanding,
