[TUHS] 2.11BSD Patch Announcements

[TUHS] 2.11BSD Patch Announcements

Hi all,

I see that there has been quite a bit of activity in the last few weeks
with 2.11BSD, resulting in the release of a number of patches.  Is there
any sort of announcement list that one could subscribe to in order to be
notified of when these patch releases occur?  Would it make sense to post
patch announcements to the TUHS or SIMH lists?  TUHS seems somewhat natural
since one of the patch distribution methods is through their archive,
though I am open to thoughts that anyone else has about this.  I only
happened to be aware of the patches because I have the "History of the
Berkeley Software Distribution" page on my Wikipedia watchlist and someone
has been very diligent about updating the 2.11BSD patch status there.

I hear about most of them on the PiDP-11 mailing list.  I think PiDP-11
users have provided most of the recent motivation for the flurry of 2.11BSD
activity.

It's wonderful that there is activity around that particular implementation
of the PDP-11, but since this is a much larger community I'm trying to
think of ways that will engage the widest possible audience, hopefully
without disturbing anyone or feeling off-topic.
