At the Dallas USENIX conference the first Archivists BOF was held. I
don't think it will be the last either. :-) During the BOF it was decided
that a mailing list or newsgroup should be setup so that discussions
about archive management could continue. Several complained that their
mailboxes were too full already so let's do it in a newsgroup... :-)
