[arg_discuss] ARGology Administration

[Andrea Phillips]

As per the below post from John Evans... I suspect a number of us
would like to see more stuff posted to ARGology, but

1. Nobody wants to overstep their authority and just post stuff, and
2. Nobody knows exactly who the authority is to ask

The sensible thing to do, therefore, is form a governing body of some
sort, probably a smaller private email list Basically this is what I
envision should happen:

* People will volunteer to be on the ARGology committee and added to
this theoretical list.
* When people would like to post something to ARGology, they bring it
up on this ARGology list.
* If nobody says otherwise after, say, 24 hours, the idea-bringer
would be free to post.

In order to make this happen, we need both a small, private email list
and volunteers to subscribe thereto. (Well, and a general agreement
that this is an OK way to proceed.) I could in theory start looking
into the email list bit tonight, but I'm running out of SIG-related
steam right around now, so let me throw it out to you guys:

Anyone know a quick and easy way to set something like this up?
Anyone want to participate in such a thing?
Anyone have a better idea than this?

Annnnnd that's all from me for tonight. Thanks, folks. You've been a
great crowd!
