Mailing list for automatic diffs of PF updates

There have been some expressions of interest in getting CVS diffs of
changes to the ARIA drafts. We have made some changes with our editorial
setup, and now can have automatically generated diffs sent to a mailing
list whenever the drafts are checked in. The way it's set up, a /source/
version is what you'll get diffs on, which is slightly different than
the /generated/ version that lives at the publicly announced URLs. Since
the source version itself is no longer being run through a generator,
the diffs will be more meaningful than they were in the past. The
differences are only in generated content like the table of contents.

We have set up a mailing list for this that anybody can be added to,
public-pfwg-cvs@w3.org. The list is announce-only and is not archived,
as I believe diffs are only of transitory usefulness. Anybody needing
more than transitory information would need to use CVS directly. Many
email clients can be configured to display the markup sent by CVS in a
useful manner.

If you would like to receive these automatic updates of changes to the
ARIA specs, please reply to me off list and I will add you to it.
