[Web4lib] Re: next generation opac mailing list

[Popp, Mary Pagliero]

Hi!  As I have watched this discussion, I have wondered about how this
will fit with the PACS-L list.  I know that it still exists, but it does
not get a lot of traffic.  Will this issue breathe new life into that
venerable list?

Eric et al,

Have you considered using a mailing list tool that allows list names
long enough to be descriptive?  At Yahoo Groups I've got searchloggers,
for instance.

Otherwise I think you're trying to carry 50 pounds of description in a 5
pound bag.
