[44net] Re: Mailman migration

Hi folks, Thanks so much for the discussion on this last week. It was really helpful to see your thoughts and feedback. We also got to have some discussion about this internally this morning – or, well, evening for Chris. Aside from server stability and backup issues (which have been solved) the other problems we were looking at were: * Searching the archives (previously unavailable) * Providing a space for discussion between grantees / for topics that are outside the scope of the 44net mailing list * Within that discussion, allowing for participants to find threads by topic * Creating cross-pollination between grantees and 44net mailing list members. Given that the cross-pollination is a nice-to-have rather than a need-to-have, that the new mailman interface does allow for searching the archives, and that migrating this mailing list to any new system will likely come with pain and user drop-off, it makes sense for this mailing list to remain on its existing and updated mailman instance. We can always create a forum (e.g. Groups.io or Discourse) for other topics. If / when we create such a forum space, obviously everyone here will be invited. In the meantime, please continue to enjoy this updated Mailman. And thank you, Chris, for all the work you've done to make it happen. 73, Rosy Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV Executive Director Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) ampr.org On 4/22/22 12:48 PM, Paul Sladen via 44net wrote:
