At the time I set up the 'mud' (actually spm set up a 'chat' forum
that looks a bit like a mud) I also set up a whole lot of mailing lists.
Some are in use; some aren't.

Since we already have working lists running on ref (and hopefully a working
list server to automate it soon), I hope that if you decide to push these
working groups further, you will work in conjunction with us. There is
enough entropy already.
Lynne also has some mailing lists and we will be working on combining
them over the next week or two.
