I will set up a group and set up several people as manager so we do not lose control of it. Who else wants to help manage?

Since linux is not the only open source operating system, would a project specific list, such as one of the first two, or a new, more generic one, such as foss_forensics, oss_forensics etc have resilience?

Simson,

I wish there was one main place for all opensource / public domain
tools were discussed.

Assuming you mean the yahoo group linux_forensics, it looks like it
was almost dead last year.  Look at the number of messages in history
chart at the bottom of:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/linux_forensics/?v=1&t=directory&ch=web&pub=groups&sec=dir&slk=3

So I think moving all traffic there is the better of the 2 options,
but wish there was a even more centralized list for the
communications.

Currently nobody is using this feature. I wish people were.

I'm probably going to shut down either aff-discuss or bulk_extractor-users, and move all the people from one to the other. Or recommend that everybody move to linux_forensics. Any suggestions which to do?

See if they are running a lot of different things, or just the basics.

Let's suppose the task was reversed. You don't need or prove they are
an expert, you already know they can barely find the 'on' button. But
what if you needed forensics to show that this person barely knew what
a keyboard was even though they used it everyday for years.
My first guess would be control panel access and administrator level
changes, but many knucklehead users default to admin instead of user.
What next?

Hopefully not a Yahoo! group? Last I checked they require a Yahoo! ID
to use their groups, and I'd really rather not set up Yet Another
Email Address.
