Re: Relocation of mailing list?

Since nobody is in charge of the Blue Obelisk, and since the community
is very distributed, I think SourceForge is a better choice than to
host it at a particular university or on someone's own hosting
resources. What we lose in performance, we gain in long-time
stability, as the site access will not be dependent on a particular
person or on a particular post at a university. Also, it will be
easier to maintain the resources if we have a number of people who can
access them (and several of us are very familiar with SF).

Speak now if you feel that this is the wrong way to go...

Regarding mail archives...I'm not sure whether they can be imported
into SF (we will have to issue a support request once things have been
set up). However, as a result of the Gmane interface to the BO mailing
list, mails have been archived at:
   
http://www.mail-archive.com/blue-obelisk-1MXgZGmSEouYropViTRrB8edHCjMHISts0AfqQuZ5sE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
although there is no guarantee they will be there forever.
