Why not go ahead and self-host > wikidc-announce too? That might be the better solution. I don't really have an objection to this, though I'm generally hesitant with third-party domains, hosting, etc. simply due to the fact that while Wikimedia can't handle much, it can handle managing mailing lists. It already does so for a number of chapters/groups/et al. I've personally tried to deal with hosting/managing mailing lists myself before and I've never found the experience particularly enjoyable. Are you willing to set up and maintain a mailman installation (or whatever)? If not, I think it's much simpler to simply use the same system where wikimedia-dc is located. (And all of the Wikimania lists, minus the one that James created, for that matter, no?) While I think some separation from Wikimedia/its future is great, if Wikimedia goes under, I think the least of our concerns will be this mailing list, and it'd be simple enough to change over to something else in the unlikely event. Just need to make sure the list owners keep a relatively up-to-date copy of the address book somewhere. Do you know when wikidc.org will be set up/have list support? A better estimate of that would make this bug much easier to resolve. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
