[Board] projects mailing list

[Jeff McKenna]

For the record Jachym, we should never be afraid to say our opinions on 
the Board list.  This is what makes a good Board member, and why we were 
voted onto the Board.  It's important to put our ideas onto the table 
(through the Board mailing list and meetings) and then discuss and 
decide a way forward for the foundation.
