I find it interesting that this discussion took place about 1.5 years ago.

At that point there was some hesitation for splitting the lists, but
there was some agreement that a Mailman list would be best. Also,
RedHat had agreed to host this.
Four years into setting up and supporting thin-client labs, HOSEF came
to the conclusion that it would help to create a second mailing list for
teachers. There is, however, such hesitation to admit what you don't
know that the list hasn't been used much.
