[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Motion to deactivate the "evergreen-admin" mailing list

[Michael Peters]

Just my 2 cents, but I've always felt IRC was the best place to reach other 
sys-admins for advice.  I can't recall ever posting to the mailing list 
about a system administration issue.  I know there are so many active 
sys-admins on the IRC that I think the response is likely to be quicker 
there.

I'm also more apt to answer a question I see in IRC.  I'm not sure I'm even 
subscribed to anything other than Dev and General.

0.

A dedicated list for Evergreen sysadmins could work in principle, but of 
course requires that folks actually answer questions posted to it.
Since the list was created, there's been long periods where it has been 
mostly ignored, either passively or actively, and I think it long ago 
reached the point where reluctance to use it has self-fulfilled a prophecy 
that it would not be used.

Regards,

Galen
