Thunderbird->Add-ons.<br>

In any case, I don't think we want a dependency on a Mozilla
service(/admin staff), nor do we want to <br>
bury Thunderbird existing discussion groups in the already long
list of Discourse ones, which hurts <br>
discoverability for new users.<br>

<p>The other, remaining <a href="http://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>
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 <br>
