- There is hassle involved in migrating the list, especially as it may
not be possible to do automatically. People may have to explicitly
subscribe to the new list. As a result, we may lose some list members,
especially less active ones.
The possible hassle of moving the mailing list depends upon whether the
same program will be used for the mailing list. I have used the program used
by OOo a little. If the same program is used, the files containing the
members of the list should be able to be written to the correct directory
without requiring every one re-subscribe.
The mailing list software supported by the oooauthors.org server is
"mailman". The software used by openoffice.org is "ezmlm", assuming it
hasn't changed since I first subscribed. I can check into converters
between those two programs. If anyone has experience with such things,
please speak up.
