Re: [LUG] Mailman version upgrade
(Sorry for top posting)

Thank you for all your good work.
I have learned a lot from the mailing list and members.

It was the support and knowledge given by DCLug members that allowed me to transition to Linux full time on my main machines (My own and wife's).

We owe a debt of knowledge to DCLug members, which we came across by accident when I was first trying out Linux.

Kindest regards and thanks

Hi List,

At some point in the coming week I expect to migrate this list from Mailman version 2 to Mailman version 3.

Mailman version 2 has served us well for the last 16 years but is now in maintenance mode only so won't be updated much any more.

https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html#why-upgrade

I don't anticipate any changes in terms of how emails look or are handled but the web UI is significantly different so will require FAQ updates and for us to get used to a different experience.

It will move to a different mail host, but that should be pretty transparent to you all.

For historic reference here is when the list moved to Mailman 2 from Majordomo (wow, that's a flash back!) http://www.dcglug.org.uk/archive/2006/05/msg00400.html

Thanks,
Alex.
