Subject: [nvda] Announcing the next generation NVDA International Users
forum powered by Groups.IO!
Dear members of the NVDA Community around the world:
My name is Joseph S. Lee, one of the contributors to NonVisual Desktop
Access (NVDA) screen reader project and one of the admins of the NVDA
International users list. On behalf of NVDA list admins, I'd like to thank
you all for your continued support for NVDA, and to thank you users for your
continued devotion to NVDA and making it become part of lives of more blind
and visually impaired users around the world.
As we the NVDA community is in the midst of a celebration of ten years of
screen reading excellence, and to upgrade the user support experience of
NVDA and for ease of list management, members of the NVDA International list
have agreed to move our users list from Freelists to Groups.IO. Founded in
2014 and currently operating in live beta, Groups.IO provides features not
found in Freelists, such as calendar events and periodic notifications,
group wikis powered by Markdown, polls, databases, integration with services
such as Dropbox, Github and others and more. This service also makes it
easier to search list archives from the web interface, hashtags for ease or
archiving, streamlined list subscription process, RSS feeds and subgroups
(focus groups for specialized topics). Most importantly, the staff at
Groups.IO are committed to accessibility out of the box, and much work has
gone to make list management, web interface and other features accessible to
list admins and members who are screen reader users. Although Freelists
provides more advanced control over list management, we the members of the
NVDA users list believe that Groups.IO provides long-term benefits thanks to
accessibility commitments and features listed above.
Thus, effective immediately, the Freelists version of NVDA users list
(www.freelists.org/list/nvda <//www.freelists.org/list/nvda> ) is
hereby declared obsolete, replaced by Groups.IO forum
(http://groups.io/g/nvda). This does not mean the old list will cease to
function now - the lights will be turned off by end of April to allow easy
transition to those going to Groups.IO. Nor all members will be added to new
list right away - an invitation will be sent to Freelists members to join
the new (official) list.
The specifics are as follows:
* Effective immediately, no new members will be admitted to
Freelists list. Various websites, mostly NVDA Community Wiki will be edited
to point to the new list URL.
* To subscribe to the new (official) list, send an email to
nvda+subscribe@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:nvda+subscribe@xxxxxxxxx> (no subject line
required, please confirm if requested).
* For those who find that they cannot subscribe via email, an
"instant switchover service" will be provided where you'll be added to the
list by administrators (note that this is a limited time offer; applications
will be accepted until March 15, 2016, and instant switchover will occur
starting from March 5, 2016). If you do need to take advantage of this
service, please contact NVDA list admins at nvda+owner@xxxxxxxxx
<mailto:nvda+owner@xxxxxxxxx> before the offer expires.
* List traffic on the old list will be halted on March 31, 2016.
This is required in order to smoothly transfer Freelists archives to
Groups.IO.
* The sunset date for Freelists list will be May 1, 2016. Prior to
that, a few last-minute messages will be sent to Freelists subscribers.
Anyone left on the sunset date will be removed from the Freelists list.
We the members of the next generation NVDA International Users List are
thrilled and look forward to serving the NVDA community through the new list
for years to come. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Joseph S. Lee
