Gentle reminder to all that transparency of communications is a critical feature of open source projects. If the discussions don't happen in the open, it is NOT an open source project. The only communications that may be closed to the general public are Board discussions. Please sign up for and send all mass communications to community(a)lists.enterpriseneurosystem.org. Each workstream also has its own mailer, and workstream leads are responsible for managing those lists. Please also sign up for the mail lists of any workstreams of interest to you. These lists create an archive of all messages sent through them, allowing future and potential contributors to review discussions to understand project history and determine their interests. This also keeps the group from spamming folks who may no longer be interested in the project. All current Enterprise Neurosystems may be found here. In order to subscribe to a list, simply click on the list and enter your email in the Subscribe space. The admin for the list will approve your subscription.
