+1 from Arnulf<BR>
<BR>
...was also wandering how to use the osgeo.org address as mailer. I cannot use gmail for lack of privacy (discuss). OGC provides for a web front end (squirrelmail) to their mailer so one can log in and use it from anywhere (not much privacy there either but at least a clean sender). No high priority for me but yes, Tyler would probably want to use @osgeo.org in day to day work. When we switch, are we going to have a dedicated IMAP server?<BR>
