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

[Carlus Henry]

Dave,

Thanks so much for being willing to help with this effort.

How long do you think it would take for you to make the necessary
modifications?

Ken,
Will you please give Dave the necessary information in order to administer
the mailmain portion of our server?  Logins passwords and all of that good
stuff.

We still have a lot of people subscribed to the yahoo group.  If we are
going to move people over to the new gr-jug mailing list, we need to send
out a message through the yahoo group to notify them that we will be
eliminating the yahoo group and give them instructions on how to join the
gr-jug group.  Currently, no one has the ability to post messages to the
yahoo group except for the moderator.....which I am assuming is you.  Will
you be able to draft a message posting of this nature?  Please be sure to
mention that they should change their profile to receive digests from the
gr-jug mailing list.

Also maybe it would be a good idea to send out an appointment to let them
know that we will be closing down the yahoo group.  This is to make sure
that the people have a timeline of when to switch over to the gr-jug mailing
list.

Does this sound like an appropriate plan of action?  If there are any
questions or concerns, please let me know.

Thanks
Carlus
