[Civsoc-mw] DAVY: resolved - Re: try 2 to civsoc-mw (Fwd) DAVY: mailman bug - what next ?

[Dr Paulos B Nyirenda]

Davy,

The civsoc-mw mailing list is working ok and has members subscribed. 

The members are from civil society, so, may be we should reduce the technical details  being

Apologies everyone for the tech-speak.

Regards,

Paulos
