As a new educator member of this list, I was *not* offended by all of the
discussion on what is and what is not appropriate [topic-wise and
format-wise] for this list.  Rather, what concerns me is how to facilitate
the creation of the much needed second OS education applications list -- to
support our efforts to migrate from SL to OS and to preserve the community
from the [rapidly disolving] SLED list.  That is, although there is the
common thread of educational applications for virtual worlds, the education
community in virtual worlds is quite diverse with public, private, for
profit, non profit, for credit, for training, and more characteristics of
the members.  Accordingly, in order for a second list to be meaningful
and/or thrive, it has to be independent of any one characteristic or entity
(and this is where the OpenSimulator.org is needed).

Is it possible for a second Open Simulator list -- for the Open Simulator
educators to discuss virtual world applications (or an OSEdApps list) to be
created and hosted on the http://opensimulator.org site?

Thank you for considering the above,
