Hi,
As there has only been one response, on the Commons VP, suggesting that
Commons-l is sufficient to discuss tools and reports in a more general
way, I'll look further at closing down the list.
I'd like to keep the archive open as a referenceable record in the
future, such as linking from Phabricator. I'll check how the archive
works before acting. Any links to this list can be adapted to suggest
Commons-l as appropriate, I have already amended the main GWT page on
Commons.
This has been a successful list, and many usability and some complex
technical issues that were resolved here. For all those that took part
in various ways, thank you for your interest and support! See you
on-wiki. :-)
Cheers,
Fae
