Beside the silence problem, I would be disapointed
when this list would just be gone...

Even when 100 are on this list reading regulary
and 50 would like to keep this list running, 
I would be happy to do this.

I have a server, but no experiances with mailiniglist (yet)
and anti-spam knowledte is more and more needed to be a good
admin - anybody else who could offer a new list?

I don't think it is only about advertisment
- when I would new on a list, a list without much
traffic would make hasitating to post to it.

Werner, how definitive is your decision?
When Openmoko.org started with the community mailinglist last
November I tried my best to make this new list active,
maybe this would work also with this list, when some people
start to become active to motivate also new people to
write to this list?

So Werner, would it possible to do not to end this list
today and keep it alive for 4 more weeks - or even longer?

Best Wishes & Greetings
