Hey Mike, Mailman is quite painful to administer and the web archives are archaic. Google Groups removes all of the administration headaches, makes it drastically easier to moderate a mailing list, and provides a modern public web interface which includes powerful search functionality.
The only reason we didn't move to Google Groups a few years ago was that they weren't offerred on your own domain name. --David On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 1:41 AM, Mike Jones <[email protected]> wrote: > Maybe I missed the thread, but what is the advantage of making a change when > we already have working mailing lists?
