- Subject: PATCH: address "This question is off topic for this list"
As Zack, Alexandre, Toshi, and Phil repeatedly pointed out recently
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-07/msg02232.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-08/msg00017.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-08/msg00031.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-08/msg00215.html
as well as Mike and Joe, the gcc mailing list is _on_ the development
of GCC, not the development _with_ GCC.
What do you think about the patch below to update our common web page
footer?
(I will _not_ commit this unless there is sufficient positive feedback.)
