Mailing list is not distributing emails
A few mails have gone missing (not been distributed to the list) over the last week, and I am not sure if there have been suggestions for meeting up, or attempted plans only half-communicated. There have also been some historical issues that caused us to hide email addresses, which is not ideal; changing the setup to something that suits us better is not psosible, short of re-coding Sympa (or the likes).
I am opening this Issue in the hopes of creating a single thread to determine how we want to resolve the mailing problem, without messages going missing.
I would like to put to a vote the following:
- Should we try to fix the mail server that we have, and keep running it
- Should we use an alternative mail service? Google Groups is one option; Framalistes.org is an alternative
Please use the poll here: https://doodle.com/poll/x34t7kyxbst93sw2
Bear in mind that maintaining the mailing list server requires work -- and volunteers are called upon to help should this option carry.
If we choose an online service, we will discuss what to do with the email archive at the next meetup (see #2 (closed))
Note that mail remains a preferred form of communication for many, and whilst we will be exploring the option of IRC, discord, slack, etc, we do still need an actual mailing list system as an option.
