Ok. I'm not sure to have express my issue very clearly. At the bottom of
each page, there is an hyperlink Webmaster that currently points to my
email address. The pointed Webmaster email needs to be open to
anybody. In other words, it can't be the current mailing lists (like
axiom-developer) that need subscription, confirmation, etc. That's why I
was looking for an alternative, like using a non-public mailing-list
open to anybody.

Of course, I can put anybody else as webmaster, I don't mind.

I have added an Archive link for each mailing list. Moreover, the
mailing list name points to the corresponding subscription web page.

removed (more exactly commented out). It was in the original design of
Antoine. I don't know what was his intent.

I was wondering if it is very useful to put this version of Axiom (the
tenkan one) to be downloadable. If people use this version (that, if I
remember correctly, contains free code but was built with a non-free
Axiom), they won't find issues in the CVS version. The behavior of Axiom
might also be different. In other words, two code base to maintain.

Yours,
d.
