Yes, I was about to say much the same but you got in ahead of me Milan :-) Hopefully the new list will be ready to go in the next few days. We'll make a separate announcement when that happens. Note that we've decided not to automatically carry over subscriptions to the new list, i.e. users will have to re-subscribe once the list is ready. This is mainly to avoid objections about copying people's addresses and security information to a new site. We expect the current list to continue as part of the Gnome Discourse system, but we aren't in control of that. This means that there will be (at least) two lists going forward, which is unfortunate but unavoidable. Stay tuned. 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
