Hi Gabriele,
could you please move your (XStreamOS) mailing list(s) away from the 
sourceforge?

Since sourceforge does not allow/make available mailing list archives,
(some stupidity with not creating public/non hidden mailing list 
archives available and only unhidden mails archives available to only 
mailing list admins)

So sourceforge mailing lists are basically useless for new people 
wanting to download mailing list history, subscribe to it, concatenate 
and transfer mailing list history in a mail client
and continue receiving messages on it.
Also sourceforge have that pretty not so well (at least for me ugly) Web 
GUI for mailing lists,
- I prefer plain simple mailman one. So 2 points in minus to sourceforge 
mailing list.

Maybe this is the right time before your release something, after that 
more people may come there and troubles with sourceforge mailing lists 
might alienate some people (like me). I am not subscribing to it untill 
i can get previous mailing list archives.

I guess that sourceforge solution with it's shortcomings is for very 
small projects with few or any messages and not as a long term solution 
and desktop distribution seems like does not want to be a small one and 
deserves at least standard mailing list infrastructure for a start and 
independent (mailman)
