[Interest] [Qt-Interest] Shut down "Qt-Interest" list (nokia) in favor of "Interest" (qt-project)?

[K. Frank]

Hi Lists!

There is still traffic from time to time on the "Qt-Interest" list
(qt-interest at qt.nokia.com).  My understanding is that it has
been replaced by the "Interest" list (interest at qt-project.org).
(Please correct me if I am wrong.)

It's not a big deal, but it's a minor nuisance to monitor both
lists.  Maybe more of an issue is that the archives get split
up, so that a search has to search two places.

Anyway, would it make sense to shut down the old Qt-Interest
list?

Perhaps we could send a message announcing the shut down to
both lists, and add a banner (top, rather than bottom, if possible)
to all messages on the old Qt-Interest list announcing the shut
down, and providing a link to the sign-up page for the new Interest
list, and then pull the plug on it on some agreed-upon date.  (I'd
give it a month.)  I don't know what the mailing-list software can
do easily, but maybe we could even have the old list cross-post
its traffic to the new list during the transition period.

I guess that this would be a job primarily for the administrators of
the old list.

(I understand that we're not supposed to automatically migrate
subscribers from the old list to the new.)

(If I'm wrong that we want to have only one list, could someone
let me -- and others -- know what sort of traffic is appropriate for
the old list, and what for the new?)


Happy Listing!
