[SystemSafety] FW: How to link up with the re-located Safety-Critical list ?

[Peter Bernard Ladkin]

Thanks, Scott, for bringing this up to the Bielefeld list.

A right mess. My guess is that one can give up on an orderly transition and we have planned on that 
basis. A shame, really, but there you are.

We set up a list at Bielefeld because
1. We have the technical ability to do so,
2. We think such a list is worth while, as demonstrated by the York list and my observations at 
http://www.abnormaldistribution.org/2010/04/07/engineering-discussions-of-discussions-the-york-list-after-15-years/ 
  ,
3. The York list went to a commercial service provider with which many contributing list members 
could not cope, for a variety of reasons.

We offered an alternative, on quite short notice, with little to no coordination. That's because we can.

We have a running mailman server and an archive. I also have registered a domain name which is 
provider-independent, systemsafetylist.org, to which we will slowly be migrating the "Bielefeld" 
list so that it is truly provider-independent.

Bielefeld appears to be the only place which is motivated to keep a list going as well as having a 
mail server with a substantial mailing list as well as archiving software which works.

We are happy to share the archiving software. We have offered the archiving SW to SCSC, and we are 
neutral about the hosting of the list once it has passed to systemsafetylist.org. We are waiting for 
any comment or reaction from York or SCSC.

Mal and others who feel stranded are welcome to join the Bielefeld list if they are not there already.

I have an 11-word summary of the above, should anyone get lost in details. Please ask.
