A few months ago we discussed moving the linux-cifs-client list to [email protected]. The main reason to do this is that the linux-cifs list will be open for non-subscribers to post, whereas the existing list isn't. That's quite problematic for people who wish to cc the list when sending patches. The new linux-cifs list already exists, but is currently unused. Here's a first pass at a plan to migrate to the new list: 1) have the typical community archives and patchwork servers begin archiving the new list. Right off the top of my head is: archives (any that I'm missing?): --------------------------------- marc.info markmail.org patchwork: ---------- patchwork.kernel.org patchwork.ozlabs.org ...can anyone else think of others that should be notified of the change? We'll also need to change mailto links on websites, Linux MAINTAINERS file, etc... 2) subscribe [email protected] to the old list. This is an interim step to make sure that posts to the old list don't get dropped. 3) get a list of subscribers for [email protected] and do a mass-mailing to notify them to subscribe to the new list and unsubscribe from the old (John has said that he could help with this). 4) after a month or so, unsubscribe anyone left on the old list and start bouncing emails sent to it. Am I missing anything? If not, I'll work on hashing out some firm dates for all of this to happen. -- Jeff Layton <[email protected]>
