[CS-FSLUG] ADMIN: Proposed Merger with Sakamuyo

[Timothy Butler]

Just to be clear, the idea is not to get rid of the debates. There  
would be a general area, just as there is now on Sakamuyo, plus  
individual topical places for Linux, theology, etc. Hopefully, each  
one would be a mailing list one could subscribe to, if you wanted to,  
or it would all be available online. A subscriber who likes it the  
way it is now would just subscribe to most of the topics...
