RE: New home for list needed.
BTW, about the list archives; I'll try to download the archives to my local HD using a web ripper tool. (Both the old and new ones.) We'll just need some place to host then (and register the site to several seach engines) in order to let them stay functional. -----Original Message----- From: Loris Medici [mailto:mail@loris.medici.name] Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2009 12:25 PM To: 'alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca' Subject: RE: New home for list needed. Huib, first, thanks much for the offer. I think this list should be placed on Google Groups or Yahoo Groups, both of these offer high volume and (virtualyl) 100% redundancy. They offer a web interface with file / photo sharing, very effective search tools and what not... They also both support web and good old mail interface. My preference would be Google Groups...

A new home: as some already coined: yahoo or any other service could be an option. Otherwise: I have a unix server (FreeBSD) running at home, it hosts a friends and mine website. It would, technically speaking, be no big deal to install and setup majordomo as listserver. Depends only a bit on the traffic generated as I have a consumer ADSL (20/1.5 mbps) link, the hardware is not redundant and could be down due to power outages, my ISP has a fair use policy on amount of data send/receive (way up somewhere in the Gigabytes/Month) Can you disclose the number of subscribers, just the number, I could do some calc's if it fits within the limitations I have.
