As most of you will be aware, the GNOME Project has announced that its mailing lists, including this one, are to be transitioned from the Mailman system to a Discourse (web-based) forum.
The new forum has already been set up and can be found at: https://discourse.gnome.org/tag/evolution Note that Discourse does support a mailing list based access method, but that isn't its main focus. so for those of us who prefer a more traditional mailing list along the current model, we (the moderators, with input from Milan) have asked the Oregon State University Open Systems Lab (OSUOSL) to host a new list for Evolution users, and they have agreed. The new list information page can be found at: https://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-users We'll refer to these various instances as follows: OLD: the current list (evolution-list@gnome.org) NEW: the new list (evolution-us...@lists.osuosl.org) DIS: the new Discourse instance (see above) Some points to note: * Users can subscribe to the NEW list from now, but for the time being posts will be held (deferred) until nearer the time the OLD list is shut down. This is to enable a smoother transition of the archive, hopefully without loss of data. * Membership of the NEW list is entirely voluntary. We decided not to auto-subscribe anyone, so if you're interested, you need to do this yourself (see the NEW list page above). The NEW list has uploaded the existing archives from the OLD list. * At some point in the next few days, mail to the OLD list will start to bounce. It's currently unclear if we'll get a warning before this happens. * In the interests of continuity, we encourage people to keep the same email address on the NEW list as they used on the OLD one. * You can of course subscribe to DIS as well as NEW, but please DO NOT CROSS-POST between any of these lists. Cross-posting has a lot of potential for confusion as replies will by default also be cross posted, often leading to incomplete threads on one or more forums. If you want to post something in more than one place, choose one primary and then refer to it by URL in the other places. Thanks to all who collaborated on this, especially Lance Albertson of OSUOSL who has been indispensable in getting this to work. 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
