[project-organization] use of mailing lists

Hi team,

I want to bring up the issue of email lists. Currently I'm trying to ensure
all technical discussions are done via the SIMILE public list. This is
deliberate - when the hires arrive this will be a valuable source of
information for them to get up to speed. However I am sensitive to the fact
that for some people this may mean they are currently having to wade through
a lot of SIMILE emails that are not of direct interest to them. 

There are a couple of solutions to this:

1. We can keep use the simile email list, but adopt the use of subject flags
e.g. [making-corpus-rdf] so that people can use emails sorting tools to wade
through messages. Any suggestions for other flags?

2. More difficult - we could start another email list for discussions.

I'd be happy to hear suggestions from others here. For now, I'll tag emails
[making-corpus-rdf] until someone suggestions something better?

kind regards,
