OK - no forums.

SourceForge doesn't do the list archives itself, anyway - that's done
by Geocrawler, <http://www.geocrawler.com/>.  Mostly all that
Geocrawler does is get subscribed to lists and archive them.

My main problem with Geocrawler is that their downtime coincides with
my most productive time (late evening in NZ), which isn't that useful.

I have an mh folder of the list going back to Nov 25 1998, with only a
few gaps, in any case.

And eraserhd is now a project admin for tn5250.

Finally, the support request for getting the CVS tree imported has
been assigned, so that should all be online quite soon.
