Good news! We are a few hours ahead of ya. My company, MageLang Institute, is
starting a moderated java mailing list. The moderator will be famous
ex Java Team member Chris Warth. We are setting things up now and
we expect to be finished by early next week. You will need to subscribe
to our list as I don't think we will be using JavaSoft's subscriber list.
It doesn't seem polite to put people onto a mailing list without them asking.
Shameless plug: MageLang Institute is dedicated to promoting growth in the
Java(tm) community by providing exceptional Java language instruction and
acting as an independent Java resource. We are starting customer-site
classes on April 15th and classes on our own site starting June 10th.
If you would like more info, our URL is http://www.MageLang.com/.
