To help get people in the "Samba Porting" spirit, I've taken
Lars' suggestion of a mailing list and set one up at sambaix.com.
I'll make an announcement on the www.sambaix.com web site
within the next couple days as well, but you can sign-up and
start using it right away.

  To subscribe, send an email with the words "SUBSCRIBE PORTING"
as the first line of your message to "[log in to unmask]".  You
will receive a confirmation email within a few minutes.  Simply reply
to the confirmation without altering the subject line.  You'll then be
added to the list.  If you decide to unsubscribe, the process is the
same except change the word SUBSCRIBE to UNSUBSCRIBE in
your email.

  I've set the list up to be private in that only list members can post
to it.  This should come close to eliminating any spam that may
otherwise get posted.  If people would rather open the list up so that
non-members can post to it, then I'll change it.  If there are any other
changes/enhancements that you'd like to see for the list, just let me
know and I'll see what I can do.

Regards,
