Re: [Haskell-cafe] mailing list choices?
I think I'll go the route of @haskell.org and gmane.

I would call Yahoo and Google groups a major step backwards from mailman.

I want to set up some kind of mailing list for reactive (which I plan to release soon). The most obvious thing is to set up a mailman-based list on haskell.org, but I wonder -- do people really want to keep using mailman technology? Or something more modern like Yahoo or Google groups. I use my email reader also with Yahoo Google groups, so my day-to-day experience is the same as with mailman-based lists. For less regular operations like searching archives, I prefer the experience on Yahoo Google group. And I like some of the other modern features, like personal profiles and polls. I've been wondering if haskellers really like mailman or are just used to it. Maybe people make new mailman lists simply because others did it before them. Any thoughts/preferences?

Re: [Haskell-cafe] mailing list choices?
gmane is indeed a nifty complement to mailman, making mailman more appealing to me. I especially like the variety of interfaces.

RE: [Haskell-cafe] mailing list choices?
The Yahoo mailing list server is notoriously unreliable and randomly drops mails and/or drops people from lists because their email server was temporarily refusing mails (4xx SMTP responses not 5xx). I also find the Yahoo groups web interface absolutely awful; mailman's list archives aren't great, but are ok for casual browsing, and you can download the entire archives and load them up locally if you need to. A quick look around Google groups suggests that my initial assumption that it'd be as bad as Yahoo groups is probably unfounded. But if I hadn't already given in and created a Google account for other things, I'd be unhappy about doing so just for your list, given the way it tracks your web browsing in ways that I don't entirely understand while you are logged into it.
