Yes, this is no problem.  Just a simple cut paste operation for mass 
invitation like you say.  There's around 1000 subscribers at present.

Yeah, there's been perfect archives since I took on the list in 2001 so it 
would be a shame.  Still i'm sure it won't be the end of the world :)  The 
mbox file is available.

Go for it, but read below first.

Once we're all setup and ready.

The avr-chat list is not in use anymore, I just haven't deleted it :)

I too like the idea, perhaps we should force it upon people by inviting 
them to join both a new avr-gcc list and avr-chat list?  Maybe the list 
descriptions should give a few hints which could make enough people think 
in the right direction.

Cheers,

Jason
