I don't think there's a way to have *both* approaches in one single list.

There is this list for UG-Admins with announcments and infos that is
publicly available (if you know where to search for it) and there's the
IRC-Channel #phpgroups (which is always rather quiet). It's the "old
school" INformation channel and especially the Mailinglist sometimes
contains material that should not be publicly available in my eyes.
Every Person running a usergroup should be registered here.

And than there's the phpug-slack team at https://phpug.slack.com[1]
where not only the usergroup-leaders are welcome to join but also the
usergroup-members. I set that team up as part of php.ug to enable
usergroups to easily interact with one another and to allow easy
interaction between different usergroups. It has *never* been though as
a replacement to this mailinglist but as an addition! So far it seems to
work out. So that would be a more public approach that is strongly
frequented especially by new usergroups.

And those two "solutions" can perfectyl coexist in my eyes. Or do you
think otherwise?

Cheers

Andreas
