Hi,

I'll do the archive move this afternoon and also fully configure the list,
create gnome-hackers-private etc. so it's ready to be opened, but I'll let
it moderated until at least Sunday afternoon.

I don't want to open it directly because I'm getting a new machine this
week and I'll move everything except mainboard, CPU and RAM into the new
one, so most likely I won't be able to read my mail Thursday to Saturday.

We can then do the opening within a few minutes on Sunday (or, if my new
machine gets ready earlier, also on Friday or Saturday).

Hmm, yes.

Well, according to Miguel the plan was to restrict posting on gnome-hackers
to its members, but to have open archives and a gnome-hackers-readonly list
which will be subscribed to gnome-hackers which everyone can subscribe to.
