</div>I personally don't see much value in a *mailing-list* for delegates. In<br>
PyCon Italy, we have a mailing-list for organizers and a newsletter (=<br>
read-only mailing-list, if you prefer) for delegates/fans/followers,<br>
with a very low and clean traffic.<br>
<br>
By your description above, I propose that we simply turn europython@<br>
into a newsletter so that non-moderators can't post (and we can then<br>
link it with the "subscribe to newsletter" form in the website).</blockquote><div><br></div><div>mmm... I wouldn't change the way europython@ is set.. Personally i like to leave europython@ as a place where people can contact organizers. I remember that attendees used it to ask questions about common issues like visas info, refunds, students help, etc...</div>
