  25.  
  26. How many people participate, and how many non-participants are
  27. interested in the interim versions?  If the answer to either of those
  28. questions is "very few", perhaps the entire thing should be moved
  29. to a mailing list to save bandwidth.
  30.  
  31. If it were made into a mailing list, major interim versions could be
  32. periodically posted to appropriate groups (rec.games.design, and
  33. rec.games.frp.archives) for playtest and comment.  New users could
  34. be culled that way, too.
