Mailman is tried and true, but also a bit clunky. Many people might not like participating in these sorts of discussions by email.<br>

Has there been any though of using something like Discourse (<<a href="http://www.discourse.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.discourse.org/</a>><a href="http://www.discourse.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.discourse.org/</a>) for the Swift mailing lists?<br>

Being able to keep a full searchable archive on my own hardware is indispensable.<br>
Big numbers in an inbox do not scare me. I am in full control in maintaining the<br>
archive and what I may not have any interest in today, I may have tomorrow.<br>
<br>
One day, the silos will disappear.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
