So far, I'm seeing a lot of them. This could me because the Win port is
still buggy, of course, but it might continue.
Also, I *am* expecting the windows port to expand out active online community
by at least 1000 subscribers, if not 5 times that. My experience with other
projects (like OpenOffice.org) showed that when a mailing list gets too big
(somewhere between 60 and 100 posts a day) it becomes prohibitive for the
entry-level user as a support mechanism. Some people have yahoo accounts,
you know?
So it's as much wanting to have another list of any kind as having a
windows-specific list.
