And some more things to consider:
- realtime chat is nice, but in reality it only works when you live in ~
the same timezone and have the chat client running.
That is, unless your correspondents happen to be habitual night owls, such as
myself.
- my intention was not to start a discussion on how to
get rid of the
mailinglist, but to get mails to the list past local censorship.

I actually was fine to stick with the mailing list, only to move toward
encryption (either individually or as a group). Others made suggestions, and
I added to them.
The simplest thing would be for those of us who want to use encryption, to do
so, and to learn how if necessary (Gene and myself, for example). Then we
don't need to change the list.
I still think that something on the order of a forum, or to develop some kind
of IRC group, or to use jabber/xmpp on the side, would be good to supplement
the list. I don't believe that I myself ever said anything about getting rid
of the mailing list, only to move toward encryption, or some other tools, in
order to protect our privacy better than we do now.
