I don't think we should have another mailing list for this.  Open Source Schools
should be fine for keeping up with news about what Schoolforge members are

Maybe we should have a page for supporters telling them where such information
will be regularly posted and encouraging them to subscribe to
schoolforge-discuss, though.
