[chef] Re: Re: Migrating mailing list

I also find the web interface for simplelists to be just okay. For example, there's no link to a web-based view of the archives on this page: http://opscode.simplelists.com instead you have to know to go to http://opscode.simplelists.com/chef-test. Once you're there, there's no search (I guess you could just go to the google for that). The thread view is serviceable, but individual messages don't have the presentation standardized, so you get grey-on-white stuff (with formatting cruft) like this: http://opscode.simplelists.com/chef-test/msg/878835

Neither of these are deal-breakers for me, but I do use these when bringing a thread to someone's attention. Even if they're on the list, I don't have a URL to their inbox ;)

Someone else said that their "confirm subscribe" link went to the spam folder in Gmail, and this happened to me as well. Maybe we can see if this is something simplelists can fix.

It's less than obvious, but you can subscribe to the mailing list here:

Feedback on the trouble with sorting out how to subscribe has been noted.

Hello!

The time has come to re-open (or should I say re-re-re-re-re-open) the

discussion about moving our mailing list off of its current infrastructure

and onto something else.

We've looked at using Google Groups to host our fancy new mailing lists

but that doesn't seam feasible primarily because it's going to be nearly

impossible to cleanly migrate all of our existing messages to Google

Groups.

To that end, we'd like to enlist (pun intended) your help in trying out

Simplelists.com to see if this platform will suit our needs.

How can you help?

We've created a test mailing list [1] and have imported messages from the

Chef Announce mailing list there. Have a look around and try subscribing,

sending and replying to messages, and anything else you currently do with

the mailing list. How does it work for you? Any feedback?

The test email list will receive messages at

"> .

Please send your feedback directly to me ( "> ), post it on

the new mailing list, or reply to this message.

I'll host a Google+ Hangout [2] this Friday at 12:30 PM UTC [3] for anyone

that's interested in joining a live discussion about the mailing list.

Thanks!
