What's the difference? (Besides the fact that everyone's work and
comments on RCR's prior has now been trashed.) The submit form looks
the same. I don't see any mention of the "mailing lists". I even had to
re-register. I don't get it. Rather the rejuvenate the RCR process in
any way, I this is driving the death nail through it. With all this,
who wants to bother anymore?

Personally I think the whole idea of mailing list for _each RCR_ is too
much. No one's going to take the time to join a mailing list for a
single RCR. Very few people ever commented on the RCRs as it was. I
mean really. Is this just some way to shut people up without being
mean? Sort of Honey-pot for wantabe language designers? If Matz and
core team were really interested in ideas for Ruby 2 from the
community, a dedicated mailing list would be the thing to have. A place
where ideas can be hashed out. If bad, they'd die quickly. If
reasonable, Matz or whomever could encourage a formal submission --at
least then one would know their hard RCR work was going to at least get
carefully looked at.

Anyhow that's my 2 cents.

BTW, I submitted an RCR and RCRchive bombed.

Here's my first question: all old RCRs have been discarded?

Out of curiosity, why a mailing list for every RCR?

Can I subscribe to all of the mailing lists at once? (I'd rather not have
to subscribe to each new ML every time a new RCR is entered).

This is going to be a huge help. Way to go!

Hey, on the `help' page, could you add a bit more under the "Subscribing to the
mailing lists" section? Specifically, what e-mail address will be sending the
message and any other distinguishing characteristics of the e-mail, so that
filters can be coded to sort the mail?

Another little idea maybe: a few headers with some RCR data. X-RCR-Id and
X-RCR-Author would be really cool.

Are you allowed to use any HTML in the submition fields? Are there size
limits?
