+1 on both of these. No offence but gotdotnet is a fairly crappy 
collaborative dev environment. Mailing lists have the advantage of being 
a push medium - ie we don't have to go and check the forum every time 
somthing is updated.
Its curious that after the Wix and wtl projects decided to use 
sourceforge IronPython is going to gotdotnet. Understandably MS has an 
interest in promoting gotdotnet. It would be nice if it were made a bit 
more usable first.
