Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] OK to subscribe tuxpaint lists to gmane?

[Bill K. <nb...@so...>]

Steinar - yes, I think it should be fine.  I believe the libSDL mailing lists
are gatewayed to Usenet via Gmane as well.  Some people prefer usenet or
forum interfaces over lists they have to subscribe to, so I think it's a
good idea.

tuxpaint-devel list -- anyone have any objections?

-bill!
