Correcting myself: you need a premium plan PER GROUP. So there is no cost sharing possibility. Initially I thought I could get a single premium plan for my own account and work from that to migrate more than one group.
I’m not going to pay $110 per group to transfer the old content over. That is just too much. (Anybody want to chip in?) What I will probably do, is send out invitations to the existing members on Yahoo to join the new group. The old content here @ Yahoo will continue to exist for some time.
Grrr,
Ben
Hi Florian,Basic use with limited storage and features is free, and as far as I can tell it does not need to be for open source.However….. if you want to migrate a Yahoo group, you ∗have∗ to get a premium plan for one year. (You can downgrade to a free plan afterwards.) And that one year plan is $110 / year. As far as I can tell you can have unlimited groups and/or migrations for that plan. I have two groups at Yahoo (PolySix and newmellotrongroup). Perhaps we can share the cost? Are there any other Yahoo moderators interested in sharing the cost?I have looked at other alternatives (Google groups for example), but who knows for how long that will still exist. And there is no migration possibility. I could also host it as separate mailing lists on my synth-diy.org mailing list server, but there would be no file sharing etc.Kind regards,BenOn 17 Oct 2019, at 13:50, Florian Anwander fanwander@mnet-online.de [PolySix] <PolySix@yahoogroups.com> wrote:

I suggest we move this group over to groups.io.
Is groups.io free for our use? I only see "free for open source
projects". As an owner and/or moderator of several synth groups I am
quite interested in it.
