Yep. This OSList works for me. Adding my thanks to the past moderators,
the contributors, and Harold.
And I’m glad the openness is in keeping with this community. I
wouldn’t change it.
And I was online back in the 80s and for sure then 90s when listservs
were all the rage.
i wonder if the retro look and feel and operation of a mailing list is
something of a barrier to entry for folks who never participated in a
listserv discussion—or who prefer a new fangled something or other? I
wouldn’t change it, but could we find a welcoming (and open) way to
invite more people? I don’t know what that is. Maybe just a youtube
video on how to connect with the community via the mailing list. (Even
having Harrison’s response on the history and openness of the list
helps me connect to the list and not be put off by it. I appreciate it
more after reading this thread, and I appreciate it before. So maybe
just a way to to pin Harrisons words to the signup and archive page
would be useful. I think just pinning a long threaded list of messages
to include this whole thread wouldn’t really speak to the people who
might be put off by long list of mails in a thread already :D — but a
summary, or a video with some choice quotes could be helpful! ;)
I’m not passionate enough about this issue to be the person to find an
answer. (Or is it not responsible enough to stick around on this
question.) Don’t want to put more load on Harold either.
And I think this is a question worth asking at least, to see how it’s
answered.
Cheers,
Steve

Oh Yes... OSLIST started as a phone operated bulletin board. And for
sure it doesn't exist in 4 colors/touch screen. BUT it has probably
existed as long or longer than any competitors, is searchable, carries
the thinking/sweat/arguments of those who discovered living in Open
Space (that would be 1000's) and Harold (the most recent curator) has
done a marvelous job. Thanks. Could it be better? Sure... but it has
worked for ? (20??)years! And please don't fix it if it ain't broke...

Michael,
Thanks. I appreciate the kind words. And I also know I could do better.
Thank you as well for helping out with the admin work for the OSList.
I couldn't see an easy way to see the count via the Archives. But
looking at my own stash of the emails, I counted 42.9k messages since
the first one in December of 1996 back in the old Boise State University
LISTSERV ([email protected]) days.

Great job, and big thanks Harold. You’re the only reason the list
still exists in this open, free, independent way.
And just so everyone can notice the scale of the thing, how many
messages have we posted here so far?
Cuz it’s not just about updating or swapping email tools, folks.
Harold has managed this so that we still have and can search every
message ever sent through the list. Amazing!
I know we passed 30000 some time ago but couldn’t guess what the total
is now. I can’t figure where to look it up anymore. Do you have that
number, Harold?
Thanks, Michael

Thank you Harold,
I love the simplicity that has been maintained for our email list, and
the independence to the extent possible for us to be in a platform that
supports us. Thank you for your work on this over many years, and also
to those who preceded you.
A super super simple way to pay attention to the list, and to follow
threads really really easily is to use the GREAT feature of the archives
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]. Every post
gets placed in the archives, the archives are searchable. When something
that is posted catches my attention, it is easy to go to the archives to
see what I may have missed in the thread and also simultaneously by
topic access what has been discussed in relation to the topic over the
years.
in genuine contact,
