[Matroska-general] New Mailing Lists up and running

[Christian HJ Wiesner]

Hi everybody,

if you received an email about being subscribed to a new matroska 
mailing list, dont panic, you dont have to read yet another list. As you 
may know, freelists.org was down for a while as a thunderstorm destroyed 
their PC central. As we had no idea how long it would take unil they 
have it up and running, we made a step we had been thinking of since a 
long time and created our own mailing list server, which is hosted on 
bunkus.org ( Mosu's server ). He installed mailman for this, and i was 
just waiting for freelists.org to be up again to be able to 'steal' all 
the email adresses from the subscription list, and subscribe all of you 
manually.

This was done today and i would like to ask you to use this new mail 
adresses from now on ( freelists.org will be abandoned soon ) :

matroska-general at lists.matroska.org
matroska-devel at lists.matroska.org
matroska-users at lists.matroska.org
matroska-cvs at lists.matroska.org

Please note that its matroska-user*S* now, while it was matroska-user_   
before.

If you plan to change the subscription go here :

http://lists.matroska.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/matroska-general
http://lists.matroska.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/matroska-devel
http://lists.matroska.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/matroska-cvs
http://lists.matroska.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/matroska-users


We hope you understand why we were doing this, the matroska project has 
meanwhile reached an importance where we simply dont want to depend on 
an external host for the ML archive and distribution. The new solution, 
with  lists.matroska.org as TLD, is giving us a lot of freedom in terms 
of choice of server. Cyt0plas is planning to install mailman on 
corecodec.org also, so if we had a problem with bunkus.org we could 
easily transcribe the complete MLs to cc.org, without having to change 
anything.

Regards

Christian
