what do you people think about this how about a vote. leaving Linux-il as
it is now -- more or less an extension of the comp.linux.* groups its 
purpouse will be to give a lending hand to Israeli linux users
and get it mirrered to a il.linux news group (being worked on)
I see nothing wrong with a help forum even though most of the help
messages will probobly get better responces if they where posted
on regular news groups that where designed for them. There is an
advantage to having and allowing help me messages to linux-il people
seem to think that its a smaller list and are not as scared to ask questions
to it. and we are also more tollerent to bad english (and bad spelling for
that matter)


and create a second mailing list dealing with .... what any ideas 
I would think announcements importent to Isreali linux users and
techie info pertaning to devel. hebrew support and apps.
I would guess it would be moderated (I volenteer any one else)


on the second side the list is not that big and it would creat a nice
rift in the isreali linux users community I still see most of the traffic
being on the regular linux list 


comments please


I know the word vote send shivers down every linux-il members spine
so how about mailing voting messages to me dadler@hobbes.jct.ac.il
