[Bldg-sim] Planning on Moving the Mailing Lists

[chris.malcolm.yates at gmail.com]

Hi Jason,

 

This is sad, but inevitable. The diversity of experience on here will be hard to replace. Although much of this experience is now on Unmethours, but not all.

 

Please do whatever you believe is best and most sustainable for you. Personally, I’m happy to continue with Unmethours.

 

Many thanks for all the hard work you’ve done keeping this going.

 

Cheers

Chris

Subject: [Bldg-sim] Planning on Moving the Mailing Lists

 

I would appreciate your input on a decision I need to make. My current web hosting provider has included mailing list hosting for many years, but they will cease providing this feature on July 21. Given this, I think I am going to move the mailing lists to a new service of some kind. I am committed to continuing to provide a discussion service to the modeling community as long as it is useful. That said, the frequency of postings is shrinking. 

Years ago, we discussed a number of different options, and I believe they included

*	New mailing list hosting (Mailman 3, Google groups, groups.io)
*	A new web-based forum (Discourse, Flarum, phpBB, Reddit)
*	Shutting down and encouraging the use of Unmethours, existing Slack, or existing Discord channels

You can be assured that whatever change is made, I will try to make it in the best interests of the modeling community. In addition, I am committed to preserving the archive of emails.

I also wonder if some new mailing lists (or forum topics) would be appropriate and I would be glad to start those if we can form core group of users for each. Please let me know if you have any ideas.

If you would like to help guide this decision, please let me know what you think.

Thanks

Jason
