[tei-council] Setting up read-only access to TEI Council list?

[David Sewell]

I think it would be fairly easy for me to set up a new 
public-subscription email list using UVA's current standard list 
software (Sympa), such that (1) it would mirror posts to tei-council, 
(2) anyone could subscribe to it, and (3) it would have user-friendly 
searchable archives. Let me know if this is desired.

In the meantime, I am going to ask the UVA email list gurus if they 
would be willing to attempt migrating the archives of tei-council to 
Sympa. If so, the best option might be to make that transition instead. 
I will report back.
