[open-science] OKFN Open Science Mailing List will close on 31 Jan 2020 - where to next?

[Ted Strauss]

Hello,
I'm not sure if this has been considered, but there is a method to
import/ingest the mbox archive of the listserv into the discourse forum.
Then you'll maintain the history of those conversations and they will be
searchable in discourse.
Here is a thread describing a method to do that:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/importing-mailing-lists-mbox-listserv-google-groups-emails/79773
It's not trivial to do, but it would address concerns about losing this
history, while motivating the shift over to the Discourse forum.
I'm sure someone on the Discourse marketplace channel
<https://meta.discourse.org/c/marketplace/14> could make quick work of this
for a reasonable price.
Cheers
Ted Strauss
