Re: [UG-ADMINS] Using Google Groups for user group mailing lists?

Hi,

For the Dutch PHP Usergroup, at this point we have no public 
mailinglist. We do have a private mailinglist for our internal 
discussions about organizing events and such, and we use Google Groups 
for that. Mostly because we don't want the hassle of having to maintain 
our own mailinglist software, and because archiving is done extremely 
well in Google Groups. If we even open a public mailinglist, the chances 
are big it will be Google Groups as well for exactly the same reasons.
