Yes, our plan is to move all users over and I will be giving much time for
the transition. Don't worry, we will take this slow.

Sounds like it could get complicated.

 

Some suggestions:

 

I hope this will happen without requiring folks to unsubscribe/subscribe
between lists, as that is an excellent way of A. losing members, and B.
simply frustrating folks who have mail rules setup, only check the lists
periodically, etc. etc.

 

I would also recommend a minimum of one month's time before this move is
made at all, so as to allow folks who are on digest to have a fair
opportunity to get this news.

 

I'd post this news on the webpage of the list as well, and go ahead and
start redirecting new subscribers to the program list so that you can have
an effective cut off point.

 

Take care,

Sina

Hello Everyone,

A great suggestion was made by Jamal Mazrui and after consultation with
George Bell and others we will be moving the ProgrammingBlind list into
Program-L, thus only having one programming list for the blind.

 

This will take place in the next couple of weeks and I will keep everyone
up-to-date on what steps will be taking place after consulting with
FreeLists management.

 

If you have any questions please let me know.

 

A very sincere thanks goes out to Jamal and George Bell, you guys are the
best!

 

Jeff Bishop
