Anybody alive?
The iteration goes like: * I start to talk about low activity on the list. * Erik mentions that new step toward license migration has been happened. * Others get some idea to talk about. * The new iteration of discussion begins.
So, let's try: This list became dead once again!

This is a very good moment to unsubscribe from this list. A mailing list is a platform to announce things and to inform many people of something important, it is not a place to discuss. The foundation-l consists to 99% of absolutely useless discussions about things that should really be discussed in public (e.g. on Meta or Foundationwiki), and now people start writing something without even having something to say and discuss about the "low" activity. Ridiculous.

Hi, I don't believe this list is dead or useless.
I recieve more than one email a day and follow most discussions. Because the are intressting. (I am not always involved in the discussion but i read everything.)

I think this would be a moment to review the description at
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
which is rather historic and looks funny nowadays...but still...where was it, ever, said that foundation-l should be a kind of "announce-only" list? In fact, I very much favor it for discussions, if only because you can actually (selectively) quote people's replies which is as of yet still not possible in MediaWiki (as deployed currently on the Wikimedia wikis -- talking about extensions which are not switched on is somewhat pointless here)

I was wrong... I didn't get an email from foundation-l since December 4th. But, I didn't check the archive until I realized that it is very uncommon not to see any reaction after a joke. So, I saw that everything is fine; there is no need to repeat the iteration :)
If the list is dead, it is because there is nothing to discuss at this time. This isn't a forum. Someone will bring a new topic in as appropriate, which is far preferable to trying to keep this list active and clog our inboxes with less relevant discussions, surely?
