This is the successor to the legacy Korn shell mailing lists that were hosted by AT&T but which have been dead since early 2018. This mailing list serves two purposes. First, the team maintaining ksh will post announcements from time to time about the state of the project. Second, it provides a place for people interested in ksh to ask questions, post problems, etc. as an alternative to opening a Github issue. Because we expect a low volume of messages, and most development discussion will take place on Github, we have opted to not create separate "announce", "users", and "dev" lists. If message volume ever becomes significant we may revisit that decision.
