Hi y'all, Re Google Groups:
It appears that one can join a Google Group without a _gmail_ account by sending a special subscribe email to a certain Google Groups endpoint: https://webapps.stackexchange.com/a/126053. FWIW, this won't let you use the web UI directly (useful for searching, the archive, etc). If you want to be able to use the web UI, and don't have a gmail account, then you can associate a Google Account with that gmail account. This'll let you use the UI, but not require you to actually use gmail. It looks like there's a related option in Groups.io: https://groups.io/. Haven't used it myself, but it advertises a migration path from Mailman (which I think is what we use rn under the covers?). At a glance, it has a web UI, but email is still a first-class citizen: https://groups.io/static/why. Re the options: I personally favor the Discourse option, as you get nice rendering for images and LaTeX, tags, categories, etc: https://discourse.org/features. It can also be run in email list mode, which'll allow one to use it as a regular email list, and never actually visit the website: * https://racket.discourse.group/t/how-to-enable-mailing-list-mode/167 * https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-is-mailing-list-mode/46008 -- Laolu On Sun, Nov 26, 2023 at 8:51 AM Matt Corallo <lf-li...@mattcorallo.com> wrote: > During the last meeting it came up that the mailing list here will likely > shut down somewhere around > the end of the year.
