Essentially, everything outside of bug reports themselves that the user community submits to the site. I edited this email before sending it to include the 'email archive' portion. We do not otherwise broadcast, decisively and explicitly, that anything sent on the email lists are archived, stored, and re-broadcast via our own means. Sure, it's understood by those who regularly participate (and those with at least a primitive understanding or paranoia of the Internet, one would hope) that this is the case, but in order to stay ahead of the curve before it becomes a requirement, perhaps we should add it as well. Of course, then again, perhaps a one-line note could be of benefit. Something to the effect of, "Your voluntary submission is in explicit understanding and agreement that the [PHP group denotation goes here] Group is not and cannot be held liable in any form for data storage and/or archival of any data submitted to our systems which may then replicated or 'mirrored' by any third party, and that requests for the expulsion of said information be submitted to the presenting authority, agents, or assigns." In US legality, run-on sentences seem to be acceptable. Must have to do with the one-track mind of a lawyer. ;-P Regardless, it's a nod - however potentially unnecessary - toward the DMCA and other USC Title 18 obligations we have here in the US. And if it exists (even in just a similar form), all we need to do is link it. -- </Daniel P. Brown> Network Infrastructure Manager Documentation, Webmaster Teams http://www.php.net/
