Re: [UG-ADMINS] What about making this list public on https://www.mail-archive.com/

It seems that all the current venues are effectively open to the public.

This list, for public announcements.
IRC, for various discussions.
Slack, for inter-group coordination.

Perhaps keeping all of these and adding a "closed" group mailing list for
leadership concerns, advice, and the like might not be a bad idea.

Each venue currently available (and proposed) adds value to a different
aspect of UG leadership and/or "daily" operations.

I do also recognize that have to many disparate venues of communication
leads to disorganization, confusion, and the potential for cross-posting
and mis-posting.

I'm not sure where the happy medium exists.
