I would not just _gateway_ the list. I would _move_ it. At
the same time we could split it in two; one for development
questions and one for user questions.

You shouldn't see any immediate difference if we move L-CAD
to Lugnet. Todd might even be able to pull it off without
anybody noticed it.
The idea is that those of us who want the benefits of
reading the LEGO CAD development discussions through a
newsreader can get them if we move the list.
At the same time we have the option of making a clear
distinction between development discussions and questions on
how to use the LEGO CAD packages.
Play well,
Jacob

| (...) I agree with the first, not so sure about the second. I'm not enough of an ng purist to require that a cad.developers group requires an equivalent cad.users group. Steve (26 years ago, 25-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
