[GR-Jug] Let's get moving....

[Matthew Carpenter]

We made the decision to ignore the Yahoo Group in favor of the mailing list, 
using the Yahoo Group as a poster page.
I don't recall the exact logic we used to make that decision.  I believe this 
is a bit of it:
* Mailman allows us a lot more control
* Mailman made administration and archive searching easier.  
* It also had better user-interface.  
* Becoming a member of Yahoo's services really hiked up Spam

Yahoo Groups were actually quite a pain to administer and take part in, 
especially for those of us who wanted to do just email.  

Best to all of you.  I read, but have little to post these days.  Quixtar has 
incorporated a great deal of Java technologies, though.  Alticor's core 
network platform is primarily J2EE, but we're finding a lot of the mentality 
that we should buy as much as we can of the stack (application) and then 
contract out the programming to make it all fit nicely.  I don't personally 
believe it's worked out the way anticipated, but it is what it is.

Hope all is well with the rest of you.
Matt
