hi keith,

I thought about sending a mail similar to the one sent by egbert a while
ago. While I am by no means a very useful member of the community (I
merely lurk around and try to keep up to date, in the hope that I can do
something one day), I find it very hard to follow the developement
around the X server and I have been unable until now to find the mailing
list where real discussion takes place. For example, a recent mail by
Jim Gettys refers to "discussions taking place" to decide on autotooling
issues although I never saw such a discussion on any of the xserver,
xorg and xlibs mailing lists.

Maybe it would make sense to put a pointer from the xerver wiki to the
real mailing list if there is one or to try to use one exclusively if
all these discussions take place privately.

regards,
Mathieu
