Mailing list name

[Hedblom Daniel]

Hello,

Im not engaged in devel or anything but i do use edubuntu on a terminalserver with 400 users. Anyway
here is my take on the matter if anyone is interested.

I think its nice to use the normal mailing list conventions, that is edubuntu-devel and
edubuntu-users. Many other lists they will subscribe to will have that naming convention so whats
the use for Edubuntu to be different? The educators are infact users and i suspect they understand
that perfectly well.
