SourceForge is blocking .zip as attachment ATM.

I don't know if you received
http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month022004/msg00086.html ,

archived.

It needs at least 3 moderators, so we don't have problems if
one or two go out for days, weeks...

I'm willing to be one. I'm one of smartmontools and a few
others. I recovered my Savannah password and used a form asking
Bob to join the project (just in case he isn't following
lynx-dev and his e-mail isn't valid).
