I am a moderator of the Evolution list, and this is the first I've heard of this. I think that 10 days notice of such a radical change is not reasonable. Most people here, including myself, will have no idea what this is about. Personally, I detest web forums. If there is a well-supported mailing list alternative, I will use that. However the link referenced above look very much like a kludge and I doubt I'll be able to help list users who may have problems with it, if in fact there is even a continuing "moderator" role in this new system. The Evolution list has been a useful resource for its user community for many years. This unrequested change makes me sceptical about the community's future. I hope I'm wrong. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
