I was able to subscribe a hotmail account, but there is a problem (see below). I'm still coming up to speed on the list history while I was away, so I'm not sure how long the problem existed. There have been a few people (maybe half a dozen) who were unable to subscribe because of incompatibility with their e-mail systems. In most cases, Dave was able to fix this manually, but I know of at least one where we had to tell the person to subscribe from another account.

The problem is that no confirmation message is returned to the subscriber. I can see how this would cause a lot of confusion. Rather than wade through the tortuous documentation for the mailing list software, I will update the instructions on the openhealth site for subscribing to refer to the yahoo list.

Brian,

If I recall correctly, the OpenHealth list hosted on Yahoo was started
because new people were unable to join the OpenHealth list hosted by
Minoru.

Could you please comment on whether this is still the case?

Thanks,

Andrew

succeeds. The lists are an important reseource for those of us doing IS
research on OS for healthcare. I've been lurking this list since I started
grad school and I joined the yahoo one to keep up with the community. I'm
currently working on a taxonomy of OS software and I hope to eventually
get feedback from the community.
