[okfn-help] SIMPLE QUESTION: Gmail aliases

Mon Dec 19 18:29:33 UTC 2011

Would it make sense, as far as possible for new people by default to
set up okfn.first.last at gmail.com (and keep a list of other people's
Gmail accounts in the Contact Management System)? That way we will
know what most people use and automatically invite that address rather
than the alias address.
