A howldev mailing list has been set up on Yahoo! groups for discussions on
Howl.  You can subscribe by sending mail to
howldev-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.  We plan on putting the code on github in
a read only repository.  It will be a few more days before we get there.  It
will be announced on the list when it is.

Alan.
