That's bad.
Did we decide to close jena-dev@yahoo to new members? I don't remember
that but could easily have forgotten :(
No, not as far as I recall. We want to migrate the lists, starting with
actively suggesting people move.
If so, do we have a process in place for pointing people at jena-users
and cleaning up the yahoo pending list?
I changed the messages to add the trailer:
[[
The Jena user list is moving to Apache.
The new list name is 'jena-users' and the mail server is
'incubator.apache.org'.

We do still need to manage the pending list though.
If not, do we want to continue moderating jena-dev@yahoo for the time

I changed the mailing list to add the trailer - I've tweaked it again to
include the subscription info:
[[
The Jena user list is moving to Apache.
The new list name is 'jena-users' and the mail server is
'incubator.apache.org'.
Send email to
'jena-users-subscribe' at 'incubator.apache.org'
to subscribe.
]]
and any other messages that I could find that automatically get sent out
such as the welcome message. I've also done the same for the SF lists.
I think people are taking heed of the move; I answer questions on
jena-users first.
We can probably automatically send a reminder - I get them from other
Yahoo lists. I'll set up a monthly reminder.
Everyone - keep dropping hints!
