Thanks, MJ - updated http://tickets.teachingopensource.org/issues/1 so 
the infra team can see everything in one place.

I think this is a good and reasonable idea, for the reasons MJ explained 
- so I popped it into http://tickets.teachingopensource.org/issues/2 but 
can't think of a good way to revise the text.

The current text:

A list for discussions about teaching Open Source -- part of the 
teachingopensource.org collaboration point, which is a place to work out 
Open Source educational models, support and funding schemes, community 
relationships, and other issues, and to advocate for the changes that 
are necessary to further the goal of teaching Open Source. Any 
interested persons are welcome to join.

Suggested revision (still feels a little awkward to me):

The main discussion list for teachingopensource.org collaborators - 
anyone interested in teaching Free/Libre/Open Source Software 
(FLOSS/FOSS/OSS) community participation in an academic setting is 
welcome. We are teachers, professors, students, TAs, community members, 
industry representatives, instructional designers, and more, and work 
together from our various institutions and projects on open source 
educational models, support and funding schemes, community 
relationships, and other issues, and to advocate for the changes that 
are necessary to further the goal of teaching Open Source. Join us!
