[ITK] Community versus Users Lists

[Dženan Zukić]

Hi everyone,

since ITK is now in a mature phase, there is not a lot of traffic on
ITK-Developers. I suppose the best would be to completely transition to
just one list (community) which was created for that purpose. This would
simplify things.

But having a poll sounds like a good idea. Did you mean something like a
Doodle poll, or somehow restrict the poll to just the members of the 3
mailing lists?

Regards,
Dženan
