i agree. Free lists. Yahoo groups are not that great.

Hi,
I see. One downside about Freelists is that you cannot remove a
mailing
list, but I think that's something that wouldn't matter for now.
Other than
that, Freelists mimics Mailman a lot in terms of functionality.
My original
plan called for using Yahoo Groups for a while, then move onto
another list
manager if problems arise (which did happen so soon); in the end,
I and Alex
Hall envisioned running a user list on our site using our site's
host, but
we hit email limit problem. Apparently there is a website host
out there
which doesn't really care about number of emails on a list per
hour, which
would have been our ideal host.
Thanks for your vote. I guess I'll wait for others to chime in.
P.S. Is list management on Freelists doable using KeyWeb?
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi Joseph, I musc prefer freelists and I actually moderate a
couple of list
over there and find it pretty easy to handle.
I say go for it! I have never liked yahoo groups and only join
them if I
don't have a choice.

| Hi folks,
| My sincere apologies on this matter...
| Due to problems with Yahoo Groups, namely Yahoo ID requirement,
no way
| to manually add people and accessibility concerns with list
archives,
| I'm thinking we should switch to Freelists. I know, this is a
short
| notice,
but
| since the list would be run by users and we want to keep the
list
| format
as
| is (where people with computers or not can join us), I think we
should
move
| on. I'd like to gather your opinion as soon as possible
(likely before
| Wednsday or Thursday) so we can have a smoother transition (I
think
| Yahoo Groups transition was not that smooth).
| Benefits of freelists include more accessible archives, ability
to add
| people manually and more flexible group configuration. In
short, this
means
| that anyone who requests to join the Freelists group can email
the
| mods
and
| get added instantly. Also, Freelists allows creating webpages,
which
| would be useful for us to let people check archives and change
email
options.
| Again my sincere apologies for this short notice and problems
with
| Yahoo Groups... Thanks for your considerations.
| P.S. If we do decide to move to Freelists, those who are on
the Yahoo
Groups
| will automatically get added to Freelists group (unless you say
otherwise).
| Cheers,
| Joseph
