Upcoming listserver move [RE-wrenches]

[Matt Tritt]

<x-flowed>


Hi Michael,

How about squeezing in a  "wind-tech" section for good measure? Then 
those of us in the small wind community that are focused on more serious 
stuff wouldn't need to suffer through all the newbie and 
marketing-oriented time killers on the uh, er, other list dedicated to 
small wind (at least as much).

>>Home Power loves sponsoring this community, and we want to do it right and make it look good. So, because of the tech and aesthetics parts of this migration, I cannot give you an exact time that we will be finished and ready to go, or even if all three of the main features will be ready at once. But I did want you to know that we are working on it.
