[DDI-users] updated hosting of DDI mailing lists

[Jared Lyle]

The DDI Alliance hosts several mailing lists using Mailman software,
including the ddi-users mailing list we use to communicate with the entire
DDI community.  You are receiving this message since you are subscribed to
one or more DDI mailing list.

We are now planning to transfer mailing list hosting from Mailman to Google
Groups <https://support.google.com/groups/answer/46601?hl=en&ref_topic=9216>.
We expect this transfer to improve stability and usability.  The transfer
is scheduled for the week of 1 February 2022.

After the transfer, users should not notice a large difference in messages
sent on the lists.  Existing mailing list subscribers will remain as list
subscribers and will continue to be able to send and receive messages.  The
primary difference will be that starting February, messages sent to DDI
mailing lists will be stored in a Google Group rather than on a Mailman
archive.  Mailman archives will be retained in their current format for the
time being.

For mailing lists with no activity since 2019, we will shut down the list
but retain the Mailman archives.  Any users on those retired lists not
already subscribed to ddi-users will be subscribed.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.  We will be emailing
each list as we progress through the transfer to Google Groups.

Sincerely,
Jared
