some clarifications/thoughts • the infrastructure that currently runs lists.katipo.co.nz goes away at the end of this month (March) - both the server and IP number • lists.katipo.co.nz has only one mailing list on it (the original Koha users list) • the Koha list has 1024 members, archives and attachments sum to about 600MB. I have no expectation that I'll add any additional lists to lists.k.c.n in the future - from my pov it exists solely to support Koha. So another option could be to move lists.k.c.n into https://www.mailmanlists.net - that would mean the list address wouldn't change, so it would be largely transparent to the members. Whether we move the lists.k.c.n domain as-is, or export the member list and archives into a new list, I don't really mind either way - I'm happy to support either approach. However, if the current lists.koha-community.org infrastructure is so crusty that you don't want to create a new list on it, then I suggest that moving lists.k.c.n to mailmanlists.net is a better approach - since we can do that relatively quickly without user interruption, it meets my end-of-month deadline, and it avoids forcing an urgent task (migrating lists.koha-community.org) on Biblibre. Then, after some period of evaluation, if mailmanlists.net is working well then Biblibre can migrate the current lists.koha-community.org lists+domain into mailmanlists.net over whatever timescale is convenient. Once that's done then the project can decide whether to replace koha@lists.katipo.co.nz in with a new list in lists.koha-community.org Paul if that works for you, open a billing arrangement with mailmanlists.net and send me some credentials, and I'll do the exports and DNS changes required.

Hello everyone,

One topic that is in my todo for months is the migration of mailing lists (Thanks Simon Blake to motivate me ;) ). BibLibre is hosting them and the server is old and not uptodate. Instead of upgrading, I was thinking it would be better to move to a mailing-list professional.

I've found : https://www.mailmanlists.net

Would you see a reason not to move our mailing lists here ? (BibLibre will pay the cost, not a big deal here)

I don't see any :

• history can be migrated • We can keep the DNS lists.koha-community.org Simon and Rachel would like to stop the koha@katipo.co.nz, so we could move it as well. What about renaming it koha-users@lists.koha-community.org ? (to highlight the difference between this one and koha-devel@)
