Request for email list infrastructure for birthing the WebCT channel into a full JA-SIG channel project.

Proposal:
Create two email lists in support of the WebCT channel project, a users list for discussing installation and usage of the WebCT channel, and a developers list for discussing development of the channel. These lists would be the starting infrastructure for discussing building out the rest of the project infrastructure, including an improved web presence for the project, binary deliverables more akin to those present in the Clearinghouse (instead of requiring checkout of source from SVN), and testing and development towards an as-good-as-it-gets release of the project. While the initial code for collaboration upon is a WebCT channel, the intended scope of these lists are to more generally discuss and develop WebCT and Blackboard integration, even as these projects head towards Portlets or other kinds of integration.

blackboard-integration-discuss@lists.ja-sig.org

Purpose of list:
Discussion of using the WebCT and Blackboard channels and portlets, including those available via the Clearinghouse listing of contributions and that present in JA-SIG SVN. Includes user community self-support, discussion of configuring the channels, etc.
