There is an archive of old mails. It can be accessed by anyone on the list using their e-mail address and their mailing list password. You probably don't have a mailing list password yet, in that case go to https://vps1.eyfa.org/mailman/listinfo/bt-org, type in your e-mail address at the bottom where it says "Unsubscribe or edit options", and on the next page click on "Remind".

If no one objects, this person can be added to the list. Currently only some people (for example me) have the administration password to add people to the list, the password might be shared in the future. Note: If non-members write their introduction to bt-org@lists.eyfa.org, someone who has the administrator password has to approve the mail.

List joining procedure

after some polemics on beginning 2010, morlaa made this proposal for people willing to join:

if someone wants to enter the list,s/he is asked to write an
introduction mail. S/he sends it to the list, without being part of it,
and the moderators let it pass and ask the list, if it is ok for this
person to join. in most cases the list will be silent or agree, which is
the same.
