some of us have been thinking of moving to Github for software development. This is more modern than SVN, but essentially the same idea. Now that you mention it, I think the lists in such a place might actually be a good enough replacement for the technology / project specific lists we have, i.e. java, Eiffel, .Net and so on. It would be interesting to know what the interest is in moving to GIT, staying with SVN, doing something else, etc is. However, we still have some main community lists which have large memberships, are not attached to any particular project, and have to have good admin and spam management, so (as a part-time admin) I am very loathe to let go of mailman lists for these. This applies to openehr-technical, openehr-clinical, openehr-announce, openehr-implementers, openehr-decisionsupport and the forthcoming openehr-13606 lists - 6 in all. The above strategy would mean we can locate the java / python / ruby / eiffel / .Net lists on GIT / other FOSS sites, so it certainly helps.
