[Board] projects mailing list

[Jeff McKenna]

I agree with you on that. However almost all of our foundation docs are 
duplicated between osgeo.org and the wiki.  This is just one example.  I 
don't like it, but I have come to live with it, in the sense that the 
wiki can expand on the info on osgeo.org

In my opinion I believe we should auto-subscribe all project officers[1], and then send the first message describing the purpose of the list (also explaining the reason for the auto-subscribe).  I could also see this as an easy way for the SAC chair to contact all project leaders about system issues (downtimes/transition requests etc.), hopefully this use case fits into your vision for this list.
