Isn't there anyone out there who can help you set it up? You sure have done
a lot for us all already!
Agreed, DJ has done a lot. I beleive the problem here is (1) we have
mor or less agreed that people who are satisfied with the way things
are should not be screwed up by the switch-over if it can be avoided.
(Eg, my site recently dropped the gnu.* hierarchy! Grrrrr.) and (2)
besides DJ himself, the Clarkson people are seriously overworked, and
coordinating the gatewaying and creating of a new group is going to
take a good chunk of somebody's day or week (we all know that the
Clarkson listserv is about as reliable technology as the typical
multi-service munitions---no flame intended, but being realistic).
It *is* non-trivial. I've seen some reasonably intelligent people
make serious fools of themselves recently by trying to go it alone
creating Internet information resources....
