Yup. Webgrrls in Sillycon Valley is in the process of changing over. The
main organisation seems to dictate what it can and cannot do, for example
it will not (supposedly) let the group change its list manager
(egroups) in favour of one which does not stick the ads at the top of the
page ;-)
I am not sure when the transition will be complete, but the general
feeling seems to be if it *must* charge, then charge a nominal fee at the
events rather than for the use of a mailing list. I don't know if it will
break off though.
