[aur-general] Private mailing list for TUs?
by Florian Pritz 13 Aug '11

13 Aug '11

Hi, I think it would be nice if we had a closed mailing list for TUs only (and maybe devs if they want to) so we can move more important stuff from IRC to mail because not everyone uses IRC or is online all the time. Keep in mind that it will likely be low traffic. Any hard feelings on that? -- Florian Pritz
