Hi Brad, Sorry for the late response; I am going over old emails right now.
gnucash.org was down earlier this month because a simple hardware failure (bad power supply) revealed that my internet provider, Grande Communications, has several internal divisions at civil war with each other. Lots of finger-pointing and accusations. I got service back some weeks ago, but at least one support person said "this will keep happening again". -- Linas On Sat, Mar 4, 2023 at 1:38 AM Brad Morrison <bradmorri...@sonic.net> wrote: > Thanks to John, Fred, Derek, Geert, & Ken for clarifying the situation > with the website & mailing lists. > > Are there any plans to upgrade the GnuCash mailing lists ( > https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo) from Mailman2 to Mailman3 ( > https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/index.html)?
