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

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,

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.
