There will be no mailing list! We discussed having a mailing list and came up with the conclusion that any mailing list would be a bad idea. The biggest reason against it is if someone is getting frustrated with one of the volunteers. We want a way for them to be able to choose exactly who gets to see what they want to say, and more importantly, who doesn't get to see it. As things should be kept confidential, I would not want to put the pressure on the volunteer to have to keep something confidential that they shouldn't. The guidelines should state that although rants may be allowed, any threat of violence or other illegal activities mentioned in the correspondence will not remain private. This would allow volunteers to report any threats without feeling that they are breaking the confidentiality pledge. -- Steve
