[Foundation-l] could we please have a community-l?

[FloNight]

Angela and Brianna,

The Meta mailing list would be perfect. I think the description of the list
should include the word community to help get the point accross that it is
for broad community discussions.

Thinking about this more since Brianna suggested it, I think re-focusing the
Foundation mailing list toward Board related matter would be a good idea.
Since the list has served a broader purpose up to now, I'm not completely
sure  will happen as old habits are hard to break. But I think it is worth a
try.
