Happy to. We can easily get more mailing lists at @lists.okfn.org. My inclination at the moment would be to resist the temptation to split annotator-discuss (or annotator-users) off from annotator-dev. If others disagree with me then I'm very happy to have my opinion swayed, but there's a "critical mass" effect with mailing lists, and I'm not convinced there is a critical mass of people who would participate in an annotator-users mailing list. On the other hand, I think there may well be people who would be happy to subscribe to a low volume annotator-announce list who are not currently subscribed to annotator-dev due to volume. So, unless I hear loud noises to the contrary, I'll go ahead and create an annotator-announce list in the next few days, but will hold off on any decision to split annotator-dev in half. As for long-term hosting and archival -- I don't think we need to worry about list hosting causing issues in the immediate future with the list at lists.okfn.org. Perhaps we should move elsewhere at some point, but I'm reluctant for "elsewhere" to mean Google Groups. From an archival perspective I think we're covered more than most thanks to Randall setting up Gmane ingestion. -N _______________________________________________ annotator-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/annotator-dev Unsubscribe: https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/options/annotator-dev
