Dear Karl,<br><br>it&#39;s really the same list, and the change name by I think Franco is accidental<br><br>it&#39;s for open discussion on all p2p matters, not about the foundation specifically, though it is also the place where we &#39;built&#39; community around our concerns<br>
<br>I will ask James to place a clearer link to the mailing list on the blog<br><br>Our Ning forum really lacks a clear purpose still, there is no community manager, and forum discussions rarely take off, I use it to place announcements that are too formal for our blog, but I hope it can evolve into a medium for people working on a true p2p infrastructure as well as generally more activist and action-oriented concerns<br>

Michel,<br>
<br>
What are the rules for sending email to this list?  Is this a forum for<br>
philosophical discussion where we can comment on the various topics posted?<br>
The old list was called &quot;P2PResearch&quot; which sounded more focused, but the new<br>
one is simply &quot;P2P Foundation&quot;.<br>
<br>
I&#39;d also like to point out that finding the email list could be made easier.<br>
My point of entry was the blog, which has links to the wiki, Ning group, and<br>
sections titled Resources and Community.  Nowhere on this page are the terms<br>
&#39;email&#39; or &#39;mailing list&#39;.  I ended up using Google to find the list server<br>
page.<br>
<br>
What is the purpose of the Ning group?<br>
<br>
