Re: Mirroring posts to Web Payments CG?

My 2cts: being the one setting that up i can explain a bit the rationale.
The idea was that all mails coming to the mailing-list such as 
contributions, etc., will be only from the group members. The ratinale 
was to kep the pollution as low as possible, as well as ensuring that 
people who are not members or who are not committing to the IP policy 
can influence the direction of the work. So the overall idea was: you 
can follow the group work through public archive, you can comment on hte 
comment list, but you can't contribute to teh discussion if you are not 
member.

Whether it was wise or silly, I've no clue. It seems that the situation 
has evolved, and what may be good few months back are no more adequate now.
