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.

(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?
