I'm currently setting up that list: it should be available in a week or two. Carsten Kunze and I had a long discussion since we are both working on (and with) troff which are not groff. We believe that this kind of discussion could interest more people, and since there's no meeting point for the whole troff community yet, we decided to create one. At least, we need a list to share bugs about DWB, Heirloom and Plan9 troff. But we also want a list to discuss about the the recent troff developments, such as Carsten's Troff, Neatroff, Utroff, to share ideas, tips, requests, and comments. It appears to Carsten and I that there's place to some coordination even if we are working on different projects, with different goals, and using different troff implementations. Diversity with compatibility is one of the strength of troff, giving a place to that diversity is the goal of this list. Cheers, Pierre-Jean.
