CONS
- 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 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.
The "ezmlm" MLM has a command to download the subscribers list and
"mailman" has a bulk subscribe feature, so it shouldn't be to difficult.
As only authors may vote to move the list, I think subscribers to this
list should be "invited" to join any new list. That is, no bulk
subscription.
