oslist will end soon -- it's time to deliberate, decide and act

[Harold Shinsato]

I was able to convert and upload the OSList archive file - it was  
quite easy with the conversion script. Then DreamHost installed it.  
You can see how the archives will look after conversion from ListServ  
to Mailman at this link.

http://lists.osius.org/pipermail/oslist-test-osius.org/

Any thoughts about how the conversion looks would be appreciated.  
Michael - once I have the archive files - I should be able to convert  
it pretty easily. We'd also need the current registration list - but I  
think we could do the cutover in a few hours.

      Happy Christmas everyone!
      Harold

Harold--

The April list seems to work ok for searching. However, the June list
seems to be only one message--is that what you got from the present
list?
