I have found the UI for moderation on Mailman a little difficult.
Both systems require authentication via email to join. I would think
that would reduce most bots/SPAM.
So the advantage if any of Groups.io is that it has a better gui. Do we
se have use for its wiki or calendar?
I have found the moderation view of the mailman gui a little confusing
and maybe this I think may be the best advantage of groups.io. At least
from the standpoint of a somewhat light user of moderation.
I think it would be transparent to participants.

A new option has become available for handling mailing lists:
groups.io <http://groups.io>
As a community, we need to look at this option, provide feedback, and
come to a decision as to whether or not to migrate. A critical part
of that is having folks take a look, ask questions, and express
opinions :)
We have a sandbox example at https://groups.io/g/lfn you can look at
And an example with active list and imported archive:
https://lists.odpi.org/g/odpi-sig-bi
Major benefits include searchability, better web interface, etc.
The LF was kind enough to write a FAQ for us as we consider as a
community whether to migrate or not:
*FAQs*
*Q: What are the key differences between Mailman and Groups.io?*
●Groups.io has a modern interface, robust user security model, and
interactive, searchable archives
●Groups.io provides advanced features including muting threads and
integrations with modern tools like GitHub, Slack, and Trello
●Groups.io also has optional extras like a shared calendar, polling,
chat, a wiki, and more
●Groups.io uses a concept of subgroups, where members first join the
project “group” (a master list), then they choose the specific
“subgroup” lists they want to subscribe to
*Q: How is the experience different for me as a list moderator or
participant?*
In many ways, it is very much the same. You will still find the main
group at your existing URL and sub-groups equate to the more focused
mailing lists based on the community’s needs. Here is an example of
main group and sub-group URL patterns, and their respective emails:
https://lists.fd.io/g/tsc
https://lists.fd.io/g/discuss
https:/lists.fd.io/g/vpp-dev <http://lists.fd.io/g/vpp-dev>
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
What is different is Groups.io’s simple but highly functional UI that
will make the experience of moderating or participating in the
community discussions more enjoyable.
