Hi Angela,

Good to see the list is up and running.  I note a couple differences
from the way Cohousing-L is set up.

I'm curious why the archives are password protected.  It seems to me
that that will considerably discourage their use and I would be
surprized if this list will be used for anything that requires
privacy.

I think that the archives can be one of the most useful aspects of
a mailing list.

Also the way the list is set up it seems like replies might easily go
to just the original poster rather than to the list.  This can depend
on the email program one is using, for me, replies go to
original poster and only if I choose the non default "Reply to all
recipients" does it go to the list as a CC.  This seems like it would
discourage sharing replies shich I think is undesireable.

Also the real name field on the CC to the list has the very long phrase:
 serves as a forum for cohousing researchers to connect and
 share information
