That is too bad.
It is interesting that you believe that a listserv is "too outdated"
and old fashioned. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the
group that develops many of the technical solutions that keeps the
Net running, seems to have a different point of view. They are
running 100s of mailing lists and show no signs of giving them up.
For convenience and ease of use and creating a sense of commumity, I
have found nothing better. We operate several ourselves for
coordinating cutting edge projects. Sounds more like, some network
administrator is lazy. There are lots of places such as yahoo groups
and google groups where you can set one of these up.
Take care,
John Day

Dear all
I am sorry to tell you, but very soon Maphist will end as listserv.
The list runs on a server of the Faculty of Geosciences of the
University of Utrecht. Because of reorganisation and centralisation,
this server will be closed down very soon - and since it is a very
old computer, it maybe even breaks down earlier.
On the new server, the program Mailman (or any other listserv
program) will not be installed
With a small group I have discussed the future of Maphist and we
decided that a listserv is too outdated to search for a new host.
Maphist will continue as the Maphist Forum. We have already a host.
However it will take some weeks before it is running.
Thus, continue discussing on this listserv until you get a message
that the new forum is operational, or, if the geoserver breaks down
and your mails are returned, information will be posted at
http://www.maphist.nl/index.html
Please, make a note of this address. (at this moment nothing news there).
I intented to send this message to the list as the new forum was
operational, but I noticed this morning that I couldn't reach the
geo-server (I hope this message will be distributed).
