Hi Tim,
Give me a hollar if you would like a special group for this on LUGNET. If you
have a list (either static or dynamic) of email addresses whom you want to
grant posting access, it would be fairly easy for me to set things on LUGNET
such that anyone could follow along but only selected people (whom you
define) could post to it. It would also automatically prevent accidental
cross-posting.

Great, thanks!
Ultimately, the means of communication should be up to the elected LSC
members to decide for themselves.
If I had my say, I like the idea of a mailing list on LDraw.org, which posts
messages automatically to a LUGNET group for convenience. Perhaps similar to
how lugnet.robotics is set up, but where only specific people have posting
privileges?
I'll keep it in mind and suggest it to the LSC when they are elected.

Aha -- yes, that would work too -- and is extremely easy to set up.
In fact, if you wanted to make it read-only on LUGNET (so that the only way
to post is via the mailing list on ldraw.org), all we need to do is subscribe
an address <something@lugnet.com> to the <ldraw-tech@ldraw.org> mailing list.
LMK,

we can easily also tell mailman to post each email to the mailing list
to a group on the NNTP server.

Cool. Hmm, which to choose... It makes less work for me doing it the
mailing list way, because of the incoming gateway translations at the
e-mail level. What do we want to call it here? lugnet.cad.ldraw-tech?
lugnet.cad.ldraw.tech?

I think lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw.tech is long but it fits in with the
existing scheme

This sounds like a cool idea, but I don't think there's a need for it right
now. The techies list is kinda low-interest -- it's good to have a public
archive of the list (which we've already got), but I don't see a burning
need to mirror it onto LUGNET.

Oh, that's a good point. Yes, it's a bit long, but as Steve points out,
it's a relatively low-interest group. Putting it as .ldraw.tech instead
of .ldraw-tech also makes it cleaner if other lists (such as, say, Tim's
ldraw-siggraph list) wanted to be mirrored here as well.

I think both LDraw.org and the community at large would benefit from
it being mirrored.
And another beauty of mirroring an archive like this is that it's so easy
to set up that even if there's not a perceived burning need for it, the
long-term benefits easily outweigh the short-term effort involved. At
the ldraw.org server end, it's as trivial as adding a new e-mail address
to the distribution list.

Never mind... It sounds as though the LDraw-tech folks really don't want
their list mirrored here.

What are you talking about Todd? I for one would like the list mirrored here.
