[Qgis-psc] Re: problems with the doc mailing list?

[Otto Dassau]

Hi, 

here a short summary - it was easier than expected and without any problems...

- wrote mail to doc list about our plans to movement
- subscribed all doc list members to new qgis-community-team list
- added Tim as "background" ml admin for the list
- community team is ready to go, added updates at wiki to present them to the
  community soon 
- new IRC channel #qgis-community-team - soon with logging  
- started to organize a first IRC meeting with the team probably mid of may

thanks for your help!!

  Otto
