After a conversation with Robin in the airport, I'm going to start regular script comment periods starting at the beginning of January. I'll send my comments on several (2-4?) Bro scripts to the bro-dev mailing list every Monday and Wednesday to allow for a couple of days of comments and discussion. Then, I'll coalesce those into something more succinct that will be posted somewhere.

I'm bringing this up ahead of time because I wanted to see what people thought about announcing the bro-dev mailing list to the users list because I think it's a really good learning opportunity for people to watch Bro development in progress and I'd like as many people as are interested to join the discussion.

Unless I hear complaints, I'm going to go ahead and announce the bro-dev list next week.

I presume that this won't include the archives for previous bro-dev  
discussions? Because I imagine those contain some not-for-public-consumption  
postings.

Nope, just announcing the fairly freshly created [bro-dev@bro-ids.org](mailto:bro-dev@bro-ids.org). I think the old [bro-dev@george.lbl.gov](mailto:bro-dev@george.lbl.gov) is gone where those conversations would have taken place.
