Andy and Mike, I'd also prefer to just convert the old groups into mirrors. That way people who are still subscribed to them will continue to get e-mails (and most people on the list are read-only users).
Ideally we'd have the behavior that users who try to e-mail the google group get a bounce back saying "this is now a read only mirror". That said I have *no idea* of this is possible to set-up nicely within google groups. I defer to Andy! Having the new mirror groups also seems like a decent solution as well... - Patrick On Fri, Dec 20, 2013 at 8:35 AM, Mike Potts <[email protected]> wrote: > I actually prefer that, but I didn't want my preference to get in the way of > creating mirror groups, one way or the other :) (My argument would be that > since the old groups would be closing anyway, re-purposing them as mirrors > is fair use: and less work/confusing than creating new *-mirror groups > instead.) > > > On Friday, December 20, 2013 8:29:40 AM UTC-8, Andy Konwinski wrote: >> >> That would be really awesome.
