<p>There already IS an ipg-slack running. I don't go there. I'm on
too many slacks already and have the contempt bred of familiarity.</p>
<p>The groups.io still has mailing list features if you want them.
It's still free, although the $220/yr would be fine. It's stupid
simple to administrate. It's an easy analog to Yahoo! Groups. <br>
</p>
<p>If I can get an export of the names, I can import them in about
30sec. Then it starts to work. After the pre-seeding, have a good
time. 20GB limit, so don't attach hi-res images of your cats.</p>

wrote: Well, we could self-host a WordPress site with
membership and forum software. The entire solution can be
built out that way. The only downside is a cost, monthly
for good hosting and yearly for some commercial plugins to
lock things down. The one gotcha on the site I built was
that when we moved it to a new host, some of the
commercial plugins wouldn't re-register. At the time I set
it up, the cost for them wasn't too high, but they
ballooned to a total of over $500, which was too rich for
me this year, so I just moved the site and we're running
old, somewhat out of date plugins. Also, I can't really
volunteer myself to do the whole job. Post heart surgery,
I'm trying to tone down how much work I shoulder. But I'm
happy to advise. --David *David Gewirtz* Distinguished

migrate the mailman version to something modern. I have
