Here's what we've decided to do, after receiving a few comments about 
discarding the esip-drupal mailing list. The mailing list will remain 
as-is, and members can continue to communicate through it if they so 
wish. New members can also be added, if there is interest. The only 
change we are making is removing people from the administrator list, all 
except ESIP staff, since no one was monitoring and dealing with 
administrative requests. If someone wants to be added (or re-added) as 
an admin, just write back to me.
