[SeasonOfDocs] Email list research

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Sanket, are you around and noticing emails? At our last meeting, we 
identified setting up an email list as our number 2 priority.

Jo, you were also looking into this and had some ideas. How far did you 
get before heading on leave last week?

How should we move forward?

Cheers, Cameron
