Subject: Re: move most GSoC discussions to john-dev

Oops, I meant to send the below to john-users rather than john-dev, and
I just did.  In the message below, "in here" refers to john-users.

For now, my advice is that whoever wants to apply for the GSoC tasks
should be on both john-dev and john-users.

Sorry for the mess.  I knew it would be difficult to draw the line,
which is why john-dev did not exist until recently.  But we're going to
need it for truly development-focused discussions, and I think it's best
to start moving most GSoC stuff to john-dev.
