+===Groups.io notes===
+Another email list/group is transferring to groups.io and here is information they've shared with me.
+  * Their group is restricted, like YahooGroups, moderators must approve members
+  * The group has a private message archive, only new members require message approval
+  * Info: [[https://groups.io/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Quick-Start-for-Group-Formation]] and [[https://groups.io/static/help#suboptions]]
+  * That group does not need calendars, chat, or database
+  * They will consider Hashtags and Subgroups later
+  * There are features for Wiki and Polls which they can enable later
+  * It's likely that everyone will get an invite from groups.io
+  * Some concern/curiosity that cost may be more than $110
+  * More answers available at [[https://www.google.com/search?q=support@groups.io&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us]]
+  * Groups.io cannot get your Yahoo password so each member will need a password for Groups.io
+  * Regarding transfer to groups.io, groups.io says in brief: transfer requests must be given the go-ahead by 12/1/2019 as they cannot guarantee transfers submitted after that date.  Also it appears that most Photos sections are currently [as of 10/19/2019] having an outage and it isn't known if they'll be restored prior to that deadline.
