[Alex Clark]

And… Wyn was kind enough to point out I sent this (see below) to him
instead of the list. Forwarding for reference.

Is anyone using trello? I sent maurizio my email. I've never used it, but
I'm willing to try. I just realized another cause for my recent confusion
and frustration: this list has no GMANE counterpart.

Generally speaking, whenever someone gets excited about a new project, they
start a new list! The excitement is good, but list proliferation is bad.
(We could have just as easily used the now mostly dormant plone-website
list for this discussion.)

Anyway, I've submitted the plone-com list to GMANE for inclusion, but they
are slow to respond. I'll make do in the mean time :-)
