I think we need to do something closer to (b). Actually, the new list
has *already* picked up a new person who is interested in contributing
to the software side.

I could try using this (and if it doesn't work, I know enough Perl to
fix it), but it requires that the group is viewable for non-members
(probably to save messing with cookies).
If I'm going to be the one who grabs the archive, can someone turn off
member-only viewing, and let me know ? Then I'll give it a go.
