Good idea, although some work for someone.  The weekly newsletter and
the soon-to-be FAQ (Which Michael Hawkes will maintain) should address
some of this.

I suggest that we get more strict with staying on topic in this list,
namely TECHNICAL ISSUES RELATING TO THE INSTALLER and possibly the web
pages.  In that case, the list should slim down considerably and making
a regular digest of it to put on the forum would not be too much work. 
Frankly, I think we do need the forum because you don't want all the
talks about Mozilla Plugins and CD vending machines, etc. in your inbox.
There have been talks here about software choices and source
availability, etc., but I think these should go in the forum from now on
(or IRC, even)

So let's try to stay on topic here, and when someone strays of, we ask
the nicely to:

1. Read the FAQ
2. Read the newsletter
3. Post to the Forum
