Isn't there anything else useful than Google groups?
Sorry to be a buzzkill about this....

Yes sounds like a Google group it is, but i don't know if i am the one
who should open it, i don't have enough standing with the community, i

around for a while and knows most of the people.

Did the mailing list just die down all of a sudden? Is
everyone off to si-community, if so i think thats not the best
solution as forums tend to dilute down the level of discussion
over various boards which is not in my opinion the best thing
right now.

I agree that we cannot lose this community and another
mailing list to run concurrent with the SI List for the
next couple years should be a good solution.

You do realize Google is as trigger happy with
software as AD right? ;-P
I would prefer something less 'corporate'. And I don't
really use Google stuff too btw....

Thought that making a forum site, would demand too
much time for maintainance, and also we saw xsibase
go down so, maybe a google group?

I think a new list is good idea. It can be even
more awesome if all of us can pull our resources
together and ask and share about any DCC we are
using. Be it maya, houdini, max, modo, blender etc.
Let's make a new list and keep doing the same
thing that we have been doing over the years -
Ask, Share and just be awesome !
For me personally, as a developer / td, I am
ready to write tools for anything.
I am still happy to answer any core math
questions as it forms the basis of most of our
work in any package.
Let's do this in parallel to the list.

You don't seem to be aware of many things these
days Luc-eric :P. no... that wasn't fair of me i
apologize.
My point was more to the effect that we should
not wait for such plans to occur.
Allowing people to ease into a new routine
Yes Francisco, i too think a new list would be a
good option. one that represents other
demographics as well would make sense
Emilio, you are a true SI soldier and i share
your passion, I'm not encouraging an exodus
here, but instigating an initiative to safeguard
the knoledge of this list, that knowledge is its
members and we both know that many here will not
have the choice not to transition, i'd like
these people to have a place too, and i don't
think a banner should be held aloft as a heavy
reminder of what we have lost. it would only
lead to wat ever new structure to become a
mourning wall. i hope you understand
(please don't hate me !) :(

I'm not aware of plans to shut down this
list. If there were, the Google group could
be used as a backup

My fellows, friends, comrades.
The recent events that have befallen our
community enunciate a breaking.
After this nothing or very little will
be the same. People will shortly be
departing for uncertain pastures. One
way or another, a long journey through
the night awaits us all, and we will
find new lights and some will find new
apps to call home.
But I think that it is important we take
steps to preserve this community even if
our paths seem to be at a crossing. For
the knowledge and solace woven here,
surely they can not take.
If we are to move to a new list or to
regroup around an existing resource, eg:
SI-community, we should do so soon
before someone comes along and shuts
down this list scattering us to the
winds of which not all of us may find
their way back.
I salute you all you are,were,and will
be forever the best and fines this
industry could hope for.
