Hi, Since there are so many votes in favor of list transition to Freelists, it was decided (for now) to move the Yahoo Groups list to Freelists. Luckily for us, there is already a BrailleNote list made by Jose Lomeli; however, due to inactivity and no mods, I contacted Freelists staff to change to mod email address to mine. As for sudden change of list managers, we first thought Yahoo Groups would be a good one since many well-known blindness organizations uses it. However, it was discovered that we had a number of people with subscription difficulties, concerns were raised about inaccessibility of archives and sign up process and other features that the admins needed were not there. Also, I thought that it was safe to make another move since this (HW) list would not be going away for the next three weeks, so it was a good opportunity to find a better list manager than Yahoo (we were planning to use Yahoo for a while, but the problems snowballed so soon). Once the new Freelists list is running (as I need to update whole bunch of info), I'll send subscription and other info to this list. Also, as a courtesy gesture, those who are on the Yahoo Groups will automatically be moved to Freelists unless you say otherwise. Again my apologies for this mess. Cheers, Joseph
