Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for this conversation! Here's an anonymous poll to fill out:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfyhEx6t49BC-YZAQKJJaERELupEuViE_P…
There is a separate poll for contra callers and musicians. (I thought that the content of the different lists may generate different answers.)
Thank you,
Seth
Dear list members,
Since the beginning, the archives for this list have been public. This was an effort to make information easier to search, to find, to link to, and to share. However, the days of free information online have changed. AI bots are now scraping the web for data to train on and privacy is more of an issue.
As we move to groups.io, Chris and I would like to make the archives private. The biggest reasons are member privacy and to protect us from AI training/scraping. This means that you’ll need a free account on the new site to view the archives.
We feel this is a good change for our community. Since the only barrier to the archives would be subscribing, we think this is a reasonable trade off between privacy and accessibility.
If you have concerns about this change, please reply! (Once we make the archives at groups.io <http://groups.io/> private, we cannot make them public again later.)
Thank you,
Seth & Chris
Hi Folks,
The admins of Shared Weight have some exciting news… Organizers (and all the other CDSS Shared Weight email lists) are moving to Groups.io!
Groups.io is a more secure and stable mailing list platform, with less spam and fewer bounces. Also, there will be more useful features like a calendar, photos, files, wiki and more. The move will make much less work for our sysadmins, and will bring much more reliable email delivery.
The existing archives will be coming along with us to the new site. The archive interface is a lot better than the old Mailman3 site and has better searching.
All members and the archives will be automatically moved. You do not need to do anything (other than update the email address you send to once the move is complete).
Once completed, the new address for this list will be: organizers(a)sharedweight.groups.io <mailto:GROUPNAME@sharedweight.groups.io>
This move is financially supported by CDSS. We appreciate their involvement and support, and we could not do this without them. Please consider supporting CDSS. In addition, this new platform allows members to donate directly through groups.io <http://groups.io/> to help defray the hosting costs. (More on this once the migration is complete.)
There will be another email with lots more details once the move has been completed.
Seth & Chris
