All, We've finally got our LISTSERV archives on the web. This goes back only till March 1998, and I vaguely recall that this list started before that time.
Here's what you do to access the archives (BONUS: you can manage your subscription settings there too, as well as post messages from the browser): 1. Go to http://listserv.boisestate.edu 2. Click on "Online mailing list archives" 3. Scroll down the page and click on "OSLIST" 4. Select the month you want to access or click on "Search the archives" 5. You will be asked to log in with your email address and password. Click on " get a new LISTSERV password first" 6. Type in the email address you use for receiving your OSLIST messages and a password (you need to type it in twice). 7. Then just follow the instructions from there (which is another of saying, "I don't remember what happens after this"). So what does this all do to the "Switching services" debate I initiated? For one thing, your OSLIST legacy is preserved and will always be accessible from this site. Does this mean we needn't move to egroups? Egroups still has some advantages such as the storage of files, links, database, calendar, that LISTSERV doesn't provide. And egroups is likely visited by more people than the Boise State web server, meaning that there is a greater chance of potential OSLIST members serendipitously discovering the list. Meanwhile .... 1. Please go check out the website 2. I have set up an egroup called [email protected] and am in the process of adding you all as members there. Yours stirring-up-the-pottingly, Murli List DemiDei
