What would you like to see this mailing list used for?

Hi folks,

I thought a good starting discussion could be what we'd like to see Redisters used to discuss. I have some ideas:

* Competitions and challenges. For example, the Public Domain Review has a collection of posed portraits of 19th century of baseball stars. Your challenge is to turn them into something else! <http://www.publicdomainreview.org/2012/10/24/posed-portraits-of-19th-century-baseball-stars/>

* Help and assistance. For example, there are things I'd like done on the FOSsil Bank Wiki that other people might volunteer to do.

* Projects. For example, we could all cooperate to make something celebrating CC.

* Advocacy. For example, we could write to the Blender Foundation asking them to make sure that the music in their next movie is free culture.

What would you like this list to be used for?

Sounds good as well.

Was there a problem with the music licensed in previous Blender films?
Would you like to phrase an initial letter?

Well, I was also thinking about what I noted here:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/redisters

But your suggestions sound good too, and I'll probably add them to the list.
