Wouldn't it be better for the board to have its own mailing
list?

That's just silly. All it means is that people haven't been posting
agenda items there. I read that page before every board meeting, and
I've mentioned it here on squeak-dev repeatedly.

A mailing list would be horrible for that. A editable persistent
site is the right thing.

I don't think a board mailing list would be any better. And if you
think it's a haystack, just use a threaded reader. I recommend Mozilla
Thunderbird's newsreader connected to
news://news.gmane.org/comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.general. Note this is
not an invitation to have an endless discussion about mail and news
readers (if one ensues, I will simply kill the resulting thread with my
threaded reader :).

Ken's not on the board, by the way (but I'm thankful for his
suggestions).
thanks,
