On the other hand, you could argue that we don't really need two SqF lists plus the squeak-dev list... the brainstorming and announcements could happen on the squeak-dev list, and we could get rid of this public Sqf list.  I could go either way on that.

We'd probably need to take a vote on that. Here's how I see the three lists
coexisting happily together:
- squeak-dev: technology, development of Squeak; futurology, where Squeak
  should be headed.
- squeakfoundation: organizational matters, politics, etcetera. Here, for
  example, is where we probably will discuss proposed bylaws for the
  Foundation.
- sqf-formation: for 'SqF officials' to exchange working mails - which would
  otherwise go through private email with 10 people on the To: list - in order
  to have a public archive of what's going on (in that respect, I'm proposing
  to open things up rather than close them down, because a lot until now has
  been done through private emails with long To: lists).

My experience is that a lot of people don't care for SqF, they shy away from
mailing lists with lots of politics, so therefore the second list. It has been
sleeping for a couple of months, but go to the archives of when it just
started and imagine that stuff all happening on the squeak-dev list...

And the third list is just a sort of 'auto archiver' list, not a real
discussion list. If there's a general disapproval I'm more than happy to
remove it but the effect will be that half of the mails that should've gone
there will go through private email. I think it's neat to have an archive of
this...
