Re: [MORPHMET] Morphmet in the Future

2019-07-01 Thread Hugo Benítez 
I like the idea of James S. of the gmail group like geomorph and many
others e.g Evoldir.  not having Dennis with us anymore maybe James can act
as moderator of the gmail group of course if he want.

Nevertheless, Jim comments about morphometrics society also is not a bad
idea to create...  could be a great opportunity to organize more
transversal meetings to future...

That is an interesting suggestion. Whatever we do next it should not depend on 
any single individual. A problem is that we do not have a morphometrics society 
or an editor of a journal that could take ownership of morphmet.

Dear Morphmet community,

 

Couple weeks prior to his sudden demise, I suggested Dennis to consider moving 
the morphmet at some point to a modern forum platform that support markups, 
code formatting and inline images. 

 

You can check out https://discourse.slicer.org to see one in action. The main 
benefit that I see is the potential for a more community build up and 
engagement. For people who prefer to receive messages as emails (myself 
included), they can configure their accounts to subscribe to messages.

 

Discourse is open-source and free to install and to use on ones own servers.  
There are various hosted options for a small fee too, 
https://www.discourse.org/pricing. 

 

It is sad having to talk about changes so soon after Dennis’s passing, but I 
thought it is an appropriate discussion to have.

Dear Fellow Morphometricians,


I want to give a quick comment about the future of morphmet after Dennis's 
passing so that any necessary changes will not come as a surprise. Please rest 
assure that it is not a question of whether morphmet will continue but rather 
if any different procedures will be required to make or view posts. Right now, 
morphmet is linked to morphometrics.org <http://morphometrics.org> , which is a 
domain that belonged to Dennis himself. As a result, it is possible that, at 
some point in the future, morphmet may temporarily go down if the 
morphmetrics.org <http://morphmetrics.org>  domain becomes unavailable.

What does this mean for you as a member? Right now, very little. You can 
continue to post to morphmet and new members can join morphmet without 
interruption. If in the future, this ceases to be the case, you will receive an 
invitation to a near identical Google group that will function in the same 
manner as morphmet has operated since the 2014 transition. Invitations will 
likely be distributed over the course of two to three days. The invitation 
email will include instructions on any changes to the submission process, which 
will likely only include a new email address for making posts and a new web 
address for the forum.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me either on or off of 
the list (k.jamess...@gmail.com <mailto:k.jamess...@gmail.com> ).

Best regards,

James Soda
