Re: [orca-list] Announcement: this mailing list will be retired by the end of Oct 2022

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

I opened an account on DISCOURSE, wrote a test message and enabled the mailing
list mode. I will see how that goes.

If we have to open another mailing list I'd suggest freelists.org to host it.

It allows do do all settings via email. Using a web UI is necessary only once
per list to confirm a subscription , which I assume most of the many blind users
of this list find more convenient than a forum-like UI. Though I be sighted I
prefer a real mailing list as well.

Cheers
Didier
