Hi All,
After you discussed this quite a long time ago and then brought it back up last night this is the new 'fundraiser@lists.wikimedia.org' mailing list. The old 'fundraising' mailing list has been closed down and will moderate everyone.
The current list probably needs a bit of care but I need to go to bed again and so that's going to have to happen later :). It is set up as *public join and with public archives * but is not currently shown on the list of mailing lists.
List admins:
I am currently still a list admin though I would like to devolve that as soon as I can :) Florence is also a list admin as she was one on the old list Bryony Jones, the WMF Fundraising Project Manager, is also a new list admin. I will be staying on to help make sure she's ok then probably bowing off.
I would highly recommend that another community member also get the list admin flag but that (and who) is totally up to you all. If pushed I would probably nominate The Helpful One especially with his list admin experience.
Also: Another topic for discussion. When talking with Megan about this list change today she wondered if it was really that necessary now that we were also moving to everything being posted on Wikimedia-l. Do we really need another list? After talking to a couple list members off list I decided to still do the list change since I had an opening and it might take forever again for me to do it if we waited but I do want to open up this discussion. Do we need this list? Is it basically redundant now or does it still server a purpose?
