My interpretation of how the SIPB mailing lists worked was that bug-sipb
was *only* for reporting bugs in /mit/sipb software, and that sipb-staff
was used for discussion about software running on SIPB machines like
charon and the office workstations. Then there's the usenet mailing
list for questions/discussion about NetNews, and the sipb-afsreq list
for questions/discussion about the SIPB AFS cell.....
Don't worry about sending something to the wrong list; someone will
usually (nicely) tell you which list it should have gone on, and usually
mailing to most of the sipb lists will reach someone who can do
something about your question/reqeust, even if it isn't the appropriate
mailing list.
I don't have much of an opinion about the 'w' option. I'm not convinced
it's that useful, but I don't think putting in causes any problems,
either. I do agree with Matt that whoever's logged in front podge/hodge
have priority over the people logged in remotely, and if you log in and
find 7 people logged in, you should be able to ask them to log out, or
to move to podge/hodge. I would think that the people who are logged in
remotely should have to move, not the member in the office trying to
figure out whether to use hodge/podge.
