Hi Ross,
that seems fine to me. If other people are happy with that I'll set up a
Freeduino-building list and wikipage.
If you can send me the emails for people off-list I'll add them in when
I set it up.
We have an an 'announcements' list that goes out to a wider range of
people then the 'members' list, do you want the invite put out there or
just to members?
best wishes
Si
