Here's a little info about the new List Manager software. We are using
"Mailman", a very popular list manager for *nix that has been around for
years and years.
It has a lot more options, and puts the user more in control of the
experience. With the old system, you were either subscribed to the list
or to the digest, and the only option you had was to unsubscribe if you
wanted to change.
The new system will let you change your options on the fly. It also has
the ability to Disable Mail Sending. If you go on vacation, and don't
want to see the messages clogging up your phone/Inbox, you can disable
your e-mail delivery, without unsubscribing. Then, when you return just
re-enable delivery.
To Subscribe / Un-Subscribe / Edit Options:
http://www.tech-geeks.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech-geeks
Enter your subscribed e-mail address at the very bottom of the page, and
click the "Unsubscribe or Edit Options" button.
The List Archive is available here:
http://www.tech-geeks.org/pipermail/tech-geeks/
The archive is searchable, and it is fast. One thing I noticed is that
you have to be specific in your search criteria.
A search for "fog" pulls 111 results, while a search for "fog laptop"
pulls 19 results.
Also, the system is slowly importing the historical archive from the old
server as well. It will take awhile for the process to complete, but
when it is done, we should have a pretty complete searchable archive
(that is actually usable).
Thanks,
Abe
