Advocacy Merger -- Step One: List
Posted: Jun 14, 2007 1:11 AM

Hi ...

As we begin to merge the User Group Community, the Marketing Community,
and the Immigrants Community into the new Advocacy Community Group, I
think a good way to start is to merge the three main discuss lists first
so we don't have to keep cc'ing three lists while we work on all this.

So, we'd be merging immigrants-discuss, opensolaris-mktg, and ug-discuss
into advocacy-discuss. The new Advocacy Community Group will be able to
open new lists for new purposes over time, of course, but we need one
general discuss list for community-wide issues. We could potentially be
the largest community on the site, so a central list is needed. After
the list merger, we'd probably give a short period of time and then
archive the three old lists and move on from there to setting up the
community space, moving documents, writing new stuff, doing the
re-directs, etc.

Everyone ok with merging the lists as a first step?

Jim

I think it's a very good idea.

Assuming that the archives will be preserved, that seems a great
move. We can then establish whatever additional lists the new
Community Group needs as it becomes obvious they are needed.
