Of course when we would consider going to a discussion platform rather than a
mailinglist,
we should, in honor of our former president, setup an NNTP (usenet) server with closed
access
and a long retention time. Everyone can use their favorite newsreader, but unfortunately
searching article bodies is as problematic as with Mailman.
So indeed a email list with archiving seems a better option. But I would vote for a
solution
that we can host ourselves instead of a "cloud service". Those may be
terminated at any
time or the terms&conditions may change. We have our own IP space and hosting
facilities
so self-hosted solutions should be no problem for us and are part of our core business.

I would vote for a migration to a groups.io email list compared to say Discourse,
MattersMost, Slack, etc. Why? Searching the archives. No doubt, AMPR's stock
Mailman's searching functionality is/was very poor but it could be made better. If
AMPR wants to move the email lists to groups.io, that system has some pretty decent search
abilities.

moved to discourse a couple of years ago, and it killed the organisation. As it turned
out, like 90% of the members REALLY like email, and had absolutely no interest in moving
their conversations to a web message board. As much as discourse likes to say it supports
email, it really doesn't do a good job of it, and with members cracking the shits and
leaving, SAGE-AU went broke last year, and now we don't have a peak body for IT
Professionals in Australia.
