It appears that AOL is going to be shutting own its LISTSERV, which
includes several AOLserver mailing lists.
Since there's still activity on this mailing list, I think it would be
worth "moving" to a new list. SourceForge offers GNU Mailman lists as
part of its project hosting offering.
Does anyone have a strong preference as to where to relocate the lists?
Any good reasons why they shouldn't move to SourceForge?
I'd like to try and wrap up discussion around this by Wednesday, October
26th, to give us time to actually perform the relocation of the list, if
possible.
Thanks,
Dossy Shiobara

There has been little discussion or response to this matter, and the few
responses have all been in favor of moving the lists to SourceForge.
Today is the 26th, so I'd like to do the list move sometime tonight or
tomorrow. Consider this the "last call" for comments or objections.
Thanks again, everyone,
Dossy
I have been the admin on a virtualbox-related mailing list on
SourceForge with great results. No complaints.
But on second thought, the beancounters at AOL should burn in Hell. I
bet they see running a mailing list as a huge expense they can part
with... unlike some of its exec...
Shame.

Hi Dossy,
As far as I am concerned, please proceed with Sourceforge.
