[HCoop-Discuss] Portal Moved to Mailman Server -- List Subscriptions Work Again

[Jesse Shumway]

Clinton,

Build it and they will come? If hcoop mailing list subscriptions now work - well, that's a good thing. I assume these lists, if not their message history, can be readily ported to mailman's successor... but maybe not. This is Linux after all, where ease of migration is not a first tier concern. But hey, long term conversation preservation isn't one of the co-op's requirements so go for it.
