+ | Another email list/group is transferring to groups.io and here is information they' | ||
+ | * Their group is restricted, like YahooGroups, | ||
+ | * The group has a private message archive, only new members require message approval | ||
+ | * Info: [[https:// | ||

+ | * They will consider Hashtags and Subgroups later | ||
+ | * There are features for Wiki and Polls which they can enable later | ||

+ | * As with groups.io, each member of the list would have a password and would be able to manage their subscription. | ||
+ | * Files would be stored as part of the wiki I also have for LCTG; although there may be other options we could explore. | ||
