<p>Hi Sanket, are you around and noticing emails? At our last
meeting, we identified setting up an email list as our number 2
priority.</p>
<p>Jo, you were also looking into this and had some ideas. How far
did you get before heading on leave last week?</p>
<p>How should we move forward?</p>
<p>Cheers, Cameron<br>

<p>Hi Sanket, did your research into email list options identify
anything worth passing on?</p>

<div>Good:</div>

<div>* hosted and free (at the moment)<br>

<div>* you can align them with organisational teams, which
would mean we could have one list for website
discussion, another one for PSC etc. <br>

<div>* definitely searchable, but it's a little early to
tell how manageable they are going to be with a large
number of messages. <br>

<div>* not needing any additional logins- people helping
with the project will need a github login anyway so
we're not asking them to sign up to anything extra</div>

<div>Bad things:</div>
<div>* There's also no explicit statement on archiving
them, potentially they will survive as long as the
organisation does. <br>

<div>* They might transition to being a paid-for function
at some point</div>

<div>I'm not wedded to them, but it appeals to my sense of
neatness to keep everything together :-)</div>
