[Board] projects mailing list

[Jeff McKenna]

To be honest, I wonder if we should just blow up our Drupal site.  Live 
off the wiki.  osgeo.org is a black box, setup in 2006 and mostly not 
touched for more than 5 years.

Another huge topic we need to deal with.  Any champions?

So, for now we edit two systems.

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.
