(bcc'd to onap-discuss)

• Moderators needed for onap-tsc and onap-discuss https://lists.onap.org/pipermail/onap-discuss/2018-May/009576.html I have one volunteer, but I need a few more.

Moving to groups.io has introduced a few changes to mail handling and has created a few new opportunities as well.

• Issues that some companies had with subscription via mailman being blocked should be alleviated by moving to groups.io

• Groups.io uses #hashtags for topic management. You tag a message by including a #hashtag within or at the end of the subject line of the message.   For onap-discuss I have created #hashtags for all of the pre-existing [tags] we had in place before. It may be worthwhile using both [tag] and #hashtag for a few weeks so that folks can adjust their client-side filters as we go.

• Mailman had a server side option users could set that would exclude any messages without a specific [tag].  That went away with the move. If a user has set [tag] filters in their local email client, (Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) those should still work. If not, they should be easy to modify to work.

• The groups.io server can also be set up on to reject any message that does not have a #hashtag. Is that something that folks would like to do for onap-discus?

• You can run polls in groups.io. In fact, I currently have a poll running asking the Community whether they would like to see the hashtage enforcement feature enabled for onap-discuss. https://lists.onap.org/g/onap-discuss/message/10887
