Two notes: - the 'SF' Dan was talking about was SourceForge, not Semantic Forms, in case anyone was confused. :) It's a popular acronym...
- based on some web searching, it seems pretty to easy to move a user base over from a mailman list to a Google Groups one - you basically just copy and paste a long list of email addresses. Moving over the mail archives seems to be impossible, but at least it means we're not necessarily stuck with mailman forever, which I think is good news. -Yaron On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 1:41 PM, Dan Bolser <dan.bol...@gmail.com> wrote: > > 2009/7/16 najevi <naj...@gmail.com>: > > > > I've just today needed to search the archives of both mailing lists > > for the first time.
