O.k., if everyone wants to take me up on the offer I'll offer the
following migration proposal:

1) I'll set up the new full list on csua.berkeley.edu.	Thats the
machine I run all my big lists from.  Beefy FreeBSD/AMD box.

2) If wanted, I can set up a new "special" list on
wraith.cs.colorado.edu.  Thats a much smaller box that I use to run
more private, less bandwidth intensive lists.  Easy to make it a
closed list and all.

3) I'd like to start with a current list of all members, so people
won't have to subscribe to the new list.  Much faster migration that
way.

4) A Note, I'll add auto archiving and a digest version of the list,
since thats basically what my auto-setup stuff does anyway. :) The
archive would just be a full text thing, no searching or anything.

How does that sound to people?	When would you like the migration to
happen?
