For those that have not heard the news ... Rootsweb will no longer be
supporting mailing lists in March 2020. It will remain read only, so
archives will be accessible. In my mind, I question how long.
Please keep in mind that each mailing list archives is the property of
RootsWeb and will not be able to moved, removed, etc. Only the mailing
list members list will be accessible by the admin for that list.
I am looking for alternatives which I have started listing below.
Alternatives:
Ancestry -- as I understand, this alternative is platform based. Meaning
one would have to long into to post a message as opposed to simply
sending an e-mail.
Groups.io -- would keep mailing, but to get full function a fee would be
required.
Google Groups -- I have not researched this option. Personally, I have
issues with Google and will not pursue this option as admin.
I suppose the major decision is whether to remain an e-mail based Group
or platform based?
My personal prerequisite is that it must be FREE.
Discussion in open...
Susan Groover, List Admin.
