For the people who attended TechWeek, I believe some of the answers to
driving traffic to the list can be borrowed from the survey carried out after.
Having meet-ups and discussing topics will assist to have followup
discussions on the ML.
My 2cents.

As noted, they will be driving traffic to this mailing list. As you note, people are transitioning to other platforms but mail will not get a replacement soon. And how comes most of us are not aware of the other platforms? I'm sure we're less than 250 core users, and
Telegram
will accommodate the rest of the listers. My two cents

IMHO, this mailing list should go back to what made it successful in the first place. Traffic to the main list has dwindled and the sister list on security is effectively dead. Another thing, Whatsapp and other social media platforms might be the popular way to communicate however they do not offer the flexibility of an old school mailing list. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Tuesday, 25 December 2018 23:09, Odhiambo Washington via skunkworks skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke wrote: The admins must be reading this, and should share it.
