[sdiy] BACK ONLINE - FUTURE

[Rick Jansen]

Various things came up of course in this discussion.

I'd prefer synth-diy to keep running under MailMan. Not just for the (re)distribution of 
mails, but also for the archives. XS4ALL does have MailMan.

I don't feel like handing over to Google, Yahoo, and such parties. It may be free, but 
with anything that is free from them, _/*you*/__/*are the product*/_.

If you'd start all over you could use some forum product, but that requires more 
management, moderation, etc etc, and a more complicated infrastructure. MailMan is a very 
stable standard product.

Another option would have been a USENET newsgroup/discussion group (yes, very old, but 
works fine), although that has no true archives, and is a bit anonymous, and not moderatable.

The domain the list runs in does not matter, MailMan can be run at any provider.

I'll talk to XS4ALL first. If they are willing to host it I'm very happy, and maybe we'll 
reach 25 years! ;-)
