The GNOME project was announced on gimp-list, it was announced on
gnu.misc.discuss, gnu.announce, comp.os.linux.announce, the guile
mailing list, and CCed to various individuals.

And the result was very good.  This is not a cathedral project Havoc.

gnome-list was the GNOME mailing list.  Whatever that meant.  It was
where all the original development took place, the chater for
gnome-devel-list is to discuss the development of GNOME applications,
but gnome-list never was labeled as `the users list' as far as I can
remember.

You should at least have waited for a concensus from all of us to
close the list hosted at gnome.org.
