Re: Ozdotnet list

2017-04-04 Thread Stephen Price
Hey Matt,


I'm not much into Reddit. I think the attraction here (and the primary 
requirement) is that it's email based.


I'm on another group that was hosted in Google Groups but I had turned off the 
emails so forgot I was on it. A few weeks ago they moved to Discourse and I've 
noticed the emails coming in now, kind of a digest thread, but I like the 
format. It has links if you want to jump to the web interface but you can just 
reply as well.

Also there is a Discourse mobile app which lets you hook into any Discourse 
sites (as well as the web being mobile friendly).

So I think technology has finally caught up with  our needs. We looked into 
this kind of move some years ago but nothing fit as well as this seems to. Time 
will tell, of course!


In response to Emily, I've noticed a few Aussie devs go overseas and seen they 
remained on the list. Great tie back to home, as you say! That's great to hear.

Hi all, Been following since I started my career too. Wouldn't a Reddit channel

Dang, my oldest email goes back to 02/12/2002. That's impressive. A lot has

You guys are awesome, this list has helped me heaps over those 15ish years.

Happy to move and follow the crowd. I really do like the list format though.

Gmail does a really good job with it and I'm afraid that I might just slide

Lists are old fashioned but, like bow ties, they're still cool after all these

Hello everyone,

I haven't posted for ages either, partially I think because the (extreme!)
specifics of what I'm doing are usually covered elsewhere, but where I
think this group really excels with the higher level discussions - I am
still learning about new options via the list and I really like the local
factor (and even took it overseas with me when I worked overseas for a
while - like a thread to home). I will follow the crowd, and maybe even try
to contribute a bit more since you've brought us all out of our shells with
this question Stephen!

Same. I find it interesting to hear local opinions, and to follow Greg K's

I'm always hesitant when I see email lists move to anything that looks like a 
forum. That seems to be where discussions are organised but where they go to 
die.

I still read occasionally, if only to see what Greg K is trying to tame next ;)

Looking through my emails, I joined Stanski's list in 2002 (15 years!? 
eeep!) and moved across when the sever was in death-throes and Connors stepped 
up. I see a few people still posting from when I started, which is a decent 
track record given the period of time.

I'm hesitant in changing anything, just because I likely wouldn't log into a 
website or whatever else to view the content, and I suspect that old habits die 
hard for many others.

Cheers everyone :)

I still read occasionally, if only to see what Greg K is trying to tame 
next ;)


Looking through my emails, I joined Stanski's list in 2002 (15 years!? 
eeep!) and moved across when the sever was in death-throes and Connors 
stepped up. I see a few people still posting from when I started, which 
is a decent track record given the period of time.


I'm hesitant in changing anything, just because I likely wouldn't log 
into a website or whatever else to view the content, and I suspect that 
old habits die hard for many others.


Cheers everyone :)

Yep, If we keep the actual list email address consistent then all we
are changing is the implementation of said list.

I think it's a good idea to keep the primary function of the elist
as it is. Anyone currently subscribed to the list will be on the
replacement. It should be the same list, just delivered by a
different backend.

They can remove themselves if they decide they don't like it
(perhaps more traffic isn't what they want, or it's not applicable
to them anymore and they forgot they were on it... whatever the
reason).

That does worry me. First, I don't agree with broadening the
scope of the list as it benefits from being niche. Secondly,
moving to a new environment, while exciting, could spell the end
of the list as many spectators won't bother making the move across.


Probably pretty low risk if it can still function as an email list
(which doco says it does).
