Update re: mailing list archive; a note about project hosting

Hello,

(1) The Maxima mailing list archve at U Texas is working again.
See: http://www.math.utexas.edu/pipermail/maxima
However messages from 2000--2005 have been removed
(probably to prevent email address harvesting).
But some time ago I copied the archive files and now you can
find them here: http://maxima.sourceforge.net/email-archives
I believe it is more important to make the archives available
than to prevent some small fraction of spam.

(2) About project hosting, I looked at some alternatives to the
current situation (Sourceforge for most stuff + UT mailing list).
Without looking into it in any detail, http://common-lisp.net seems
like the most workable project hosting for Maxima
(if they would have us). I also looked at GNU Savannah,
Gna.org (French, Savannah-like), the former SUNSite.dk,
and some others. I didn't really look at anything very carefully.
If there is interest, we can consider the options more carefully.

Hope this helps,
Robert Dodier
