Wayne, we are happy to have you as a member of the chapter. Please try to
stay focussed on the positive ideas you can present moving forward and lose
focus on little technical details such as as where we host the mailing list.
I know it is tempting to pick at my statement and ask questions such as who
are we and why do they support the idea. The short story is that we stopped
using the mailing list because we could not manage it. We would be everyone
who hasn't posted a single message to this mailing list in well over 2
months now. Bence was speaking to me last night and asked if we could set
up a Google group that he and others could follow. I explained to him that
we put our announcements on the
http://wikimedia.ca web site. He said that
he preferred to receive emails when something new was gong on as it was a
push approach versus a pull method where he would have to keep checking in.
I took this as a constructive criticism and worked with Bence to set up
this new group.
I announced the new group on this list to try and not exclude anyone who is
not a member, who has been following this list. It is my intention when I
get a chance with Benoit to send out a message in French and English to
every member announcing the member's mailing list. I encourage you to join
as I encourage anyone else using this list. We will be making our future
discussions and announcements on the new list.

this is the right move for us. I encourage you all to sign up for the
new mailing list.
Who is 'we', in your first sentence?
