RE: [alac] Fwd: Appeal to the ALAC

["Roberto Gaetano" <alac_liaison@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think that establishing mailing lists within ALAC, open to public 
contribution, is something that we have already discussed in the early days 
of ALAC, and the answer was that it was a good idea.

Isn't this what the ALAC forum is for? Personally, I see no problems in 
opening a specific topic on this subject.
