  I am the one where 'the buck stops at' for technical resources such as
the hosting of lists and websites.  If you need help beyond this then you 
would need to ask more specific questions in this forum for other 
volunteers to come forward.

  You will want to read the FLORA.org FAQ.  
http://www.flora.org/flora/faq.shtml

  One thing I am in the process of clarifying is the "no commercial 
content" part of the FAQ, as you might be able to tell from the archives 
of this forum.  If ever there are questions about what FLORA.org offers, 
and what limits exist, this is the right forum to do so.

  My preference is if you can explain your group in this forum so that
others will learn about your group, but if you want to do it privately I
will read things that way as well.


  For mailing lists there is a list of questions for Majordomo.  We just
set up Mailman so that is an option, but you are more 'on your own' for
documentation.  I also haven't been able to do an adequate resource usage 
analysis of Mailman to know if it will take up too much resources on the 
FLORA.org computer.

Majordomo stuff (with first link being the questionnaire) is at:

Mailman software is at http://www.flora.org/mailman/  - Documentation/etc 
   for mailman is at http://www.list.org/
