Mailman and mailing lists have their disadvantages and as the number grow, challenges increase and functionalities are limited. The other thing with mailing lists is that 80% of members are very quiet as they dont want to expose themselves so much. Thats why even if you call an Harambee in the list,not more than 40 will contribute unless it becomes compulsory to contribute to stay on the list which will also makes those who would rather stay away stay away. So the best thing is that lets move forward. Skunkworks started as a mailing list. Lets more to a website and register as a Think Tank and you never know we might just be determining the direction of ICT in Kenya. Lets look beyond and inspire our leaders /My unsolicited advice On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 10:36 AM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:

It's not just mailman.... not sure if you saw this: This might have been answered already. Why not use something like google groups? There are other lists like ke-internetusers, where do they host (Alex)?
If all the server is doing is maintaining this list then is it worth purchasing a server?
The original purpose of having a server was to have a place for anyone with interesting projects to host their projects - especially those that could not afford hosting.
It also hosted the wiki and blog.
The mailing list was only moved to the skunkworks server this year.
It also hosts the security mailing list and a couple of others.

Instead of going forward we are simply stagnant. Mailman until when? Why not have our own mashable with a discussion forum since we can get all
the
news to make it a vibrant list. This thought of mailman hosted on a 237k server is sick and belongs to the museum. Skunkers, lets mover forward. Techradar, Techrepublic and others can envy us if we be creative not stagnant in ideas On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 10:01 AM, Phares Kariuki <pkariuki@gmail.com> wrote:

Anyway - we can get access to Phares [ in Westy] or Josiah - and I believe they do leave their numbers on their Signatures and/or Blogs.
If we need 375k - and we are more than 1000 members, then each can contribute Ksh. 400 - 500 and we are home...

Off Topic : Like a mchango in a church- we have always met a deficit despite the numbers...
The only successful church fund raising I saw was when Catholic
church
took a roll call of all its congregation in Kenya - they needed to raise about 5-6m [KSH] for the pope's visit - so they told every member to chuck about 1 shilling - and voila !!!
