We can simply use the group discussion feature from our hot.openstreetmap
service.

Objet : Re: [HOT] Additional mailing lists for the HOT Working Groups?
Hi Blake,
Indeed, you are not the only one to think this.Initially I had thought that
using the HOT OpenAtrium platform (used for Board discussions) could actually
help. It is possible to choose the level of privacy/publicity for each section
of that platform.However, one of the remaining issue with OpenAtrium is that:
to post or answer a message, authentification would be required and one would
not be able to subscribe on her own (AFAIK). Which means that it would be
heavier and less flexible in terms of user management. That aspect is much
easier managed by a simple public mailing list.
Therefore, I support your idea. We could at least start testing it within the
training working group if a few more people agree on it.Creating another osm
mailing list is not going to be really difficult if we can first agree on its
denomination and define its purpose.
Most appropriate communication tools might differ from one working group to
another but I think that this one could help at least our WG for some time.
Best,
Claire

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone else thought additional, fully open, mailing
lists for the Working Groups (WG) would be of any benefit.
I would like to communicate with other members of the WGs I participate in in a
casual, continuing conversation about subjects we discuss in the meetings but I
do not see a good way to do that.
It might also provide a way for people who have an interest in the WG to have
interaction with or follow the group even if they cannot attend the meetings.
We could use the main HOT list but that seems to be too broad of an audience
and risks making that list more bothersome than it needs to be. I would like to
feel free to send emails to my co-group members without worrying it is
increasing traffic on the main HOT email list.
Anyone should be able to subscribe to the WG email lists as they are not
intended to be private, just subject specific.
If they need moderation for spam, I am glad to moderate them.
Best wishes,
Blake
