Re: [GMOD-devel] All GMOD mail lists should be migrated from sourceforge

[Todd H. <tod...@gm...>]

Agreed. I saw then ignored that email from SF.

Google Groups can be a little finicky sometimes but generally works well for most users.

If we want to corral lists under the gmod.org domain, someone would need to petition Google for a G Suite for Education account.  That might be more overhead than is necessary to just get some core lists up and running before the end of the month.

It looked a bit phishy and I suspect many people will either not click or will not see the email, and will silently drop off the lists.

And perhaps we can breathe some life into some existing ones? gmod-architecture seems to get no love - yet this is at a time when the model organism databases are consolidating their architecture and community discussions would be most welcome!
