Rather than make it a mailing list, doing it up as a proper database
application would be something I'd be willing to host at hyperreal. Know
what I mean? You could even make it cool and allow folks to be notified
whenever a new, say, autechre release was posted for sale. You could do
the same thing but in reverse for want lists as well, and then plug the two
together. :)
Anyways, we have Perl 5 and MySQL (+ P5 libraries) installed on Hyperreal.
Let me know if you're interested. Don't get mad if I don't respond
immediately, I'm about to be offline for a few days.
