The devils advocate speaking: 1. What is a unit of conversation on facebook/g+/other tools that you have in mind? Can it be archived and searched conveniently? 2. How do you plan to move the existing conversations from the list to the new tool 3. When there are no volunteers here, how do you expect to have more volunteers in facebook? I think what we need is a presence on facebook, and someone taking up to updating it regularly, to garner more eyeballs and potential volunteers to join the mother list. IMHO, social networks have not replaced mailing lists yet. Far from providing migrating tools.
