Groups.io

[Plutocrat]

So excuse me for bringing up the issue of alternative mailing list software again, but I only just became aware of groups.io, and my initial impression is favorable. 

As has been noted before there are a number of shortcomings of the current mailing list format, most obviously the difficulty of searching them (resulting in repeat user questions), and the lack of choice between a web interface and plain email. I believe Groups.io addresses both of these problems. 

It seems to be free, at least as long as you don't upload lots of images, and the users can be migrated across by pasting a list of emails into the admin interface. The remaining obstacle would be migrating the archives across, which the head coder, Mark, seems to indicate is possible, without going into details. 

Anyway, I wasn't trying to stir up flame wars, I was just putting it on the development radar in case its a viable option.
