Hi global, hi list subscribers!

Well, there were input and the old spip-indy-based dispatch system but
none of them ever got mature. Also, I remember that there were several
attempts to reach other people and encourage them to join. However, they
were not too effective.

Yeah, you're right about adding such a note. I added the following:
"PLEASE NOTE: This working group is no longer active. The mailing list
has been removed. For now, the Wiki pages of this working group will
only remain as an archive of information. If you would like to revive
this project, please get into touch with one of these people:

~    * AlsteR
~    * (your name here)
"

Everyone interested in a revival is encouraged to add their names to
this list by simply editing the page. I hope everyone is ok with this.
If not, just change it.

| the other question is if ppl are interested in dispatch system,
working group,
| or discussions in future times? should we think how we can start without
| mailinglist? it was not easy to inform others ...

My intention is to concentrate on the input system. If this (or any
other system) ever becomes mature enough to be used in production then
this might be a good time to revive the working group. I think the
collection of documents we made will - although already outdated - still
serve as a good basis for a possible future dispatch working group or
just people interested in the process of dispatching.
