No one answered this yet, so I am taking that as meaning that no one objects
to my plan ;-)
I will go ahead and proceed with it then, keeping TuxMath, TuxTyping &
TuxReader on their SourceForge or Savanah sites, but moving their mailing
lists elsewhere. When this happens, we will make an announcement, and if you
want either us to move you over to the new list, or you would like to move
yourself, feel free to let me know.
I dont have an ETA on this move, BTW, but I would wager it would be within a
week or two.
