It sounds to me like it is best to keep the email list as is and just 
build a home base page with links to everything. That way, people can 
just go to that page and get what they need and not ever have to 
subscribe to the email list if they don't want to.

(This list is not in danger of collapsing - it's been going strong for 
several years supported totally by volunteers. We're just trying to 
work out where to house stuff and divide the labor so that it's not a 
complete burden on any one person, ie, Justin & Will.)

If we have a home base page of links housed on the a6.code404.com site 
since people know that URL, then wherever the other things are housed 
won't matter (correct?).

Justin, I thought that you took down the archives and patch archives 
because the bandwidth was an issue (not to mention the fact that you do 
not have an Andromeda and have just been doing this out of the kindness 
of your heart.) When you took them down I volunteered to host them on 
my site. Currently, I have the patch archives which David uploaded to 
my server the other day. I was going to set that up on my site asap in 
the next week. On my site then, there would be the T&T document and the 
patch archives, if you still want me to do that.

Regarding the home base page above, I've really got my hands full with 
the T&T document. I was really hoping someone else could do the home 
page - I was thinking it would just be a simple page with a limited 
number of pertinent links initially that could be updated and expanded 
as needed - but if not, I would be glad to help with it if someone else 
would work on it with me. If someone could feed me URL links I could 
set up and layout the page. Maybe that would only take one or two 
evenings to set it up. After that, there would be periodic updating 
which someone else would need to do since I feel that the T&T is all I 
can feasibly handle at this time.

So... please just work out what you want to do and let me know if you 
want me to house the patch archives which I already have, and if you 
want me to help set up a home page of links if someone will help me.

Thanks,
Sioux
