[Sigmetrics] important notice about migration of the SIG MET listserv to a new platform!!!

[Mark C. Wilson]

I have been using Gitlab for a discussion group.  It takes a while to get used to (it is designed for software development), but has the advantage that files can be stored nicely (among other advantages), discussion threads can be sorted in many ways, etc. After an initial signup everything can be done via email if the user desires. It does not yet have a “digest” feature but the notification level for each user can be customised in many ways.

New membership can then be by approval or open, and the messages can be set up as publicly viewable or only by members. It is simple and flexible.

As Christina said, this is a shame since our listservs has more than a thousand members and contributors, many of which are not members of ASIST or Sig Metrics. As she also pointed out, I think we should look for an alternative solution to maintain this communication channel open and relatively free of organizational constraints (perhaps a google group?). Your suggestions are most welcome.
