Is it really a problem to have a dedicated MP-list? Many MP questions are not interesting to MF users and vice versa. The new list will be a low traffic list. Thus, subscriptions to both should cause not much trouble.
It's not a problem for me, but since the metafont/metapost list traffic is already very low, I was wondering whether it would be necessary to split it.
Hmm, it was not a split for me. I've ask in some news groups and mailing lists if somebody can tell me a mailing list for MP. I've never got an answer.
Btw, would metafont questions be accepted on the new list?
Dont ask me, i'm not the master of the list. ;) I would accept them, esp since MF and MP share some concepts. I would even accept LaTeX and ConTeXt questions that are related to MetaPost. IMO, we should give this list a chance. There are already 12 subscribers after i've have announced it at TeX-D-L (a german TeX mailing list) yesterday. So, there seems to be some interest. Best, Jens
