Thanks for the heads-up, and for hosting so far.

Is that your baby?

I suppose another option may be to host on the wxWidgets servers -- 
Robin, do you think that's possible?

My fist instinct is to move to another Mailman server, so we can 
preserve everything. Also, as It happens, I prefer Mailman lists, though 
it doesn't make a huge difference.

One of my key issues with Google groups is that it's been hard for me to 
subscribe to one just like a regular old mailing list, with a non-gmail 
address (even though I do have a gmail address).

In short:

google groups has a better web interface

Mailman has a better classic mailing list interface.

If we go Mailman, I'd like to take Paul up on his offer, as he has also 
offered to host TRAC, which we need to move also (or dump TRAC, and move 
everything to the wxPython Wiki -- not a bad option, either)

Please, every put in your $0.02, so we can make a decision that works 
best for everyone.
