*,
<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
