In order to facilitate communication and disucssion the AR&R revision team have created a number of discussion and accouncement lists. These will be originally low volume announcement lists but will probably converted to discussion lists as chapters and content is forward.
The aim is to allow broad collaboration while developing the new documents.
The lists are available at http://lists.arr.org.au/ and there is a general list as well as a list for each chapter. We strongly recommend that everyone that is interested in the development of AR&R subscribe to the general list, then any additional chapter specific lists as well.
