+ | ===Groups.io notes=== | ||
+ | Another email list/group is transferring to groups.io and here is information they' | ||
+ | * Their group is restricted, like YahooGroups, | ||

+ | * Files would be stored as part of the wiki I also have for LCTG; although there may be other options we could explore. | ||
