Ushahidi Community Mailing lists
Heather Leson
We've done some soul-searching on the number of Ushahidi communications channels. Our goal is to make it easier for the community to build a sharing ecosystem. So, far the big changes we've made is to move to Github Issues for technical issues and launching the Enhanced Wiki for community documentation and collaboration. But Ushahidi is mostly non - technical deployers, translators, observers and researchers. By creating one place to connect, we hope that you will see some of the magic mentoring happening, for example, with corruption mappers or other topical mappers. We hope that researchers can learn from deployers and vice versa. Ushahidi has always been about ideas and voice - beyond societal borders.
We are merging mailing lists to have two instead of many:
comm...@list.ushahidi.com mailing list for all things Ushahidi - how to deploy, community topics, best practices, map topics, developer topics (if you wish) and more. This will incorporate academic groups well. We aim to have deployers of all types and organizations to meet and talk. I realize that you have joined ushahidi...@googlegroups.com originally. We hope that you will elect to join us by sending a subscribe email to "community-subscribe" <community...@list.ushahidi.com>.
All of the Ushahidi developer groups will merge into one list to include Swiftriver, Mobile, designers and more. The main technical developer connection list is now - devel...@list.ushahidi.com. This gives all technical community members a chance to learn and engage across the various tools. We hope you will join us. To sign up, go to list.ushahidi.com.
The change is effective May 4, 2012.
