[asterisk-dev] Mailing List Future

[Dovid Bender]

Josh,

IMHO the list has dwindled as most issues are covered. When the project
first started there were a lot of questions that are now available on
Google. However every so often things come up where the list is very
helpful. Also the forums seem to attract a different crowd I feel like the
people on this list may not be the same ones visiting the forum. I am more
than happy to give of my time to help setup fresh boxes, help admin the
email list etc. We also have some 2nd gen boxes (R630 and R730 boxes) that
we would give for the cause.
