Done.  I'm working with the FreeCiv folks so that the lists will soon
be reachable at freeciv@xxxxxxxxxxx and freeciv-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx.  As
soon as the DNS for freeciv.org gets updated, I can add the
appropriate info to my configs, and we'll be set.  Figure a few days
before that gets set up.  In the meantime, you can post to
freeciv@xxxxxxxxxxxx and freeciv-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxx.  Incidentally, the
freeciv.midsun.com server is presently down -- another reason to ditch 
it, I guess.

At the moment, the mail queue at complete.org is run every 15
minutes.  This is so that I can watch how mail delivery progresses
when the list is first set up.  Within about a week, I'll set it to
transmit messages out immediately after receiving them

Yes, I agree.  This is one reason to write a new client.

Yes.  There is no Linux version :-)

OK, this means I must now do research into setting cvs-pserver or
something.  Hang on.

I've made a quick website for this stuff at
http://software.complete.org/freeciv/.  It's got the status,
instructions for running the code, and links to tar.gz and zip
versions of the code.

*NO* documentation exists except how to run it, at the webpage.

I just got your request (I have to manually approve it since your
subscribing at a different address than you sent the message from).
Now that we use cookies, I guess that there is no need for this sort
of thing, so I'll tweak the configs a bit more yet.
