Where's the upcoming events RSS and does it require Yahoo!
registration or is it usable by http://www.scheme.dk/planet/ ?

I'm pretty sure events RSS doesn't have much to do with the list
hosting and TTBOMK no-one asked for admin rights, so i don't
understand why either of those are strong reasons to abandon hosting
the list on PLT-Scheme.

Can I input the previous list's membership details, by the way?
If this is actually consensus rather than the hijack it appears, it
would be nice to carry subscribers over.
