I agree with Gianluigi. I think the idea of a community-l list is  
probably a good thing, but for the life of me I can't think of a good  
definition of what should be on that list, other than "community  
related things that don't directly refer to the foundation, so  
shouldn't be on foundation-l." and I am rather uncomfortable with the  
idea of a list so generally defined, for the sake of having a list.  
But if someone can come up with a good definition for it I'd be all  
for it.
