[Equest-users] Planning on Moving the Mailing Lists

[Jason Glazer]

I would appreciate your input on a decision I need to make. 
My current web hosting provider has included mailing list 
hosting for many years, but they will cease providing this 
feature on July 21. Given this, I think I am going to move 
the mailing lists to a new service of some kind. I am 
committed to continuing to provide a discussion service to 
the modeling community as long as it is useful. That said, 
the frequency of postings is shrinking.

Years ago, we discussed a number of different options, and I 
believe they included

  * New mailing list hosting (Mailman 3, Google groups,
    groups.io)
  * A new web-based forum (Discourse, Flarum, phpBB, Reddit)
  * Shutting down and encouraging the use of Unmethours,
    existing Slack, or existing Discord channels

You can be assured that whatever change is made, I will try 
to make it in the best interests of the modeling community. 
In addition, I am committed to preserving the archive of emails.

I also wonder if some new mailing lists (or forum topics) 
would be appropriate and I would be glad to start those if 
we can form core group of users for each. Please let me know 
if you have any ideas.

If you would like to help guide this decision, please let me 
know what you think.

Thanks

Jason
