I'm writing the "Encryption and SSL" chapter for the Netscape products, and I'm finishing it up with a "Further reading" section that lists crypto-related books, web sites, and newsgroups. I was thinking of including a reference to this mailing list.

Any strong opinions either way?

As I see it, the downside is a possible increase in confused people (specifically on the mailing list--not in general from my writing) and a decrease in the ever-controversial signal-to-noise ratio. The upside is that new people might come to the list and be enlightened further on the reasonableness of privacy.

And speaking pragmatically, I can't imagine that too many people would take the time to: 1. read the docs 2. join the mailing list 3. post ill-considered messages

(As a side note, if anyone ever has any feedback about security coverage in Netscape documentation, send it my way.)
