i.e. this is where questions on Open Licensing should be directed?

Not all of them are used though, e.g. wdmmg-announce I don't think
ckan-news and ckan-changes get used... I'm going to omit them, and see
if anyone notices... My feeling is that there should be max 2 mailing
lists for each project, a discussion and a dev, otherwise we water
people down far too much

OK, what about:

 http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/d2b1
* http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/odc-followup
* http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/offenes-parlament
* http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/tcamp11  (will delete from
wiki, a specific tcamp event for this year)
* http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/transitdevelopers-de

Sorry this is taking so long, but we should get it right!
