Please create debian-user-woody list. And- debian-testing archive is broken.



VERY IMPORTANT  (IMHO)

I think it would be an excellent idea to have a debian-user-woody list.

The debian-testing is for developers.  But I suspect there are many people 
(myself included) who are just trying to _use_ woody, and are _not_ developers.
Such a list would help debiam by:
1. Providing a forum for woody _users_ to discuss issues.
   perhaps enabling testing debugging to proceed faster since
   woody users will have a concise reference place for their concerns
   and not have to waste lots of time digging  through other places 
   (such as debian-user, perhaps)
   where woody issues are not the primary topic.
2. Keeping debiam-testing from having user traffic,
   thus letting it focus on development issues.


I believe this list would be a big time saver for debian-woody users and
help boost the efficiency of the debian project overall.

I hearby request you give this issue serious consideration at 
your earliest possible convenience.

Thank you.  :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------
The debian-testing archives have no operational link past April 2001.  Yet:
1. I sent the original msg in this thread there several days ago
   http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/debian-user-200109/msg00411.html
   and the archives dont have a link for Sept.
2. I am subscribed to the list, and the list is working, because
   today a message came to me that had been posted to the list.

(Thanks treacy for pointing me in the right direction for someone to 
write to re this matter. :) )
