A list of Linux gurus, and nobody jumps to implement it?
I mean, what is it all about? hiding of e-mail? a web interface
to shoot an email message?

Err, have my own poll script in PHP (requires cookies for some

I will open-source it :)

IRC. #linux-il as it was sometimes offered, and then, as I recall
others told we already have #linux and said it's unnecessary.
Ariel already keeps a #linux-il channel on EFNet, as far as I know.
What's about eGroups? They offer a JAVA chat?
Or their own IRC server? (joy)

Enough gurus here to code it. Should be a part of the newly
designed site. I really wanna do it with PHP etc. I plan to do it.
If I wasn't to study physics now, I'd probably be doing it.
(damn, promises, promises...)

Now, why that happens? Is Ely's server too overloaded? How come
the US-located (I guess) Egroups would have superior delivery
time than ours? Egroups is probably overloaded while we can
always set up a box nearly dedicated.

Is Linux-IL a big source of spam? Is it harvested? Any evidence?
