Hello, everyone: The mailman-2 system running on lists.linuxfoundation.org is being retired, so we need to find new homes for all lists that are being hosted there, and this includes the printing-architecture list. We have two options when it comes to where to move to: 1. migrate to lists.linux.dev, which is the platform where most linux development lists live 2. migrate to groups.linuxfoundation.org, which is a groups.io managed platform; it is generally considered more forgiving for non-developers, but it is a proprietary closed platform The main upside of lists.linux.dev are: - the canonical address will change to [email protected], but the old address will continue to work, so any ongoing discussions using the old address can play out to their end, and any old documentation will continue to remain relevant - the list will be automatically archived on lore.kernel.org The main downside of lists.linux.dev: - HTML email is generally given a higher spam score, so it could be more forbidding to some participants to join in conversations - there is no webby management interface and {un}subscribing requires sending mail to printing-architecture+{un}[email protected] address. The main upside of groups.io: - Rich web interface for management and access to archives - Newbie-friendly for subscribing and unsubscribing The main downside of groups.io: - The list address will change to [email protected], and the old address will no longer work (there will be an auto-responder bounce with instructions where the message should be sent instead). - Proprietary platform Let me know how you'd like to proceed. We need to figure this out in the next few weeks, as we have a limited remaining time to shut down the mailman-2 system behind lists.linuxfoundation.org. Best regards, Konstantin
