I have no issue in principal of merging the lists.
However, if we do this we will have to split things.
the win10 list will have to cover generic stuff, on 10 setting up, upgrading, etc.
If you have nvda that can be covered here to I guess or on the nvda list.
Tutorials for general use or that could be used for general use could be posted somewhere.
However there is a lot of jaws and other stuff, and I do think if there is a constant thread for a lot of stuff, that has an interest it should be subbed off the main group so it can be handled.
Ofcause anything on settings should stay and maybe a few tutorials and such but I was out for a few days and I got over 500 messages so something needs to be done with traffic.
The other issue is maheen.
No he isn't bad right now, but the past may never die.
He has attacked several places repeatedly till banned on at least 3 occasions and while I think he is getting better and getting my trust some will be really against it as I was when he first put the list up.
On the other thing, it may be better to keep this list or insider stuff though maybe we could merge.

Hi all,

Due to a recent incident involving the owner of another Windows 10 list and
with the owner possibly removing himself from the WinTen list on Groups.IO, it
felt best to ask Groups.IO if there would be a change of ownership. If this
happens (me becoming the owner of the Windows 10 for the blind), I’d like to
propose that we merge with the Grups.IO list over there.

Some of the advantages of this move include:

· Setting up subgroups (or focus groups): We can have a focus group for
NVDA users using Windows 10 (note that you must be a member of the master list
to join the focus group).

· Another focus group could be set up for those running Windows Insider
builds.

· By centralizing WinTen discussions, a potential user don’t have to dig
through various mailing lists to find answers to his or her questions.

I’d like to receive comments regarding this proposal, and if you say yes, when
we should merge so I can send out a notice saying this list will be closed.
Thanks (please ask me offlist as to the background of this merger proposal).

Cheers,

Joseph
