<p>The other, remaining mozilla.org mailing lists are being
converted over this weekend, after which mailman will be
decommissioned. <br>
</p>
<p>Tentative plan:<br>
</p>
Public facing lists; move to topicbox to go together with our other
lists:
<ul>
<li>tb-planning</li>
<li>tb-enterprise</li>
<li>tb-support-crew</li>
<li>thunderbird-testers</li>
<li>support-thunderbird</li>
</ul>
<p>Semi-private lists; move to private google groups (since
addresses should kept, and other reasons):<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>tb-election</li>
<li>thunderbird-drivers</li>
</ul>
<p>Shut down:</p>
<ul>
<li>dev-apps-thunderbird<br>
</li>
<li>maildev</li>
</ul>

*,
<br>
<br>
Mozilla decided to shut down the Mailman instance most Thunderbird
mailing lists are hosted on by the end of this month.
<br>
<br>
This means that we need to find an alternative *fast*. The council
is currently discussing this, but I wanted to give the public an
option to weigh in.
<br>
<br>
Regarding public lists, there are three primary proposals:
<br>
1. Move away from Mozilla to Topicbox
<br>
2. Join Mozilla in moving to Google Groups
<br>
3. Self-host (not sure how feasible in the time frame)
<br>
<br>
Currently, there is some fundamental opposition to Google Groups,
as well as some fundamental opposition to self-hosting. The
preferred option thus seems to be Topicbox so far.
<br>
<br>
It is not yet clear how the migration will work; if you need to
re-subscribe we will post something before mailman is shut down.
<br>
<br>
Kind regards,
<br>
Dirk
