Do you run MacOS? Do you have a Mac Server Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Server? As you probably know, the server is discontinued (since early 2018 [1]). Don't let your wiki material die with it.
Please stop with the fear-mongering.
Both Apache2 and MediaWiki run just fine on any Mac you can get on Craig's List or evilBay... or new form any Apple Store.

What fear-mongering? The fact is that MacOS Wiki Server as a software product is EOL. That might scare you; or not, but I'm not fear mongering by giving you facts. As software products fade into the sunset, you should be aware of what's going on; plus understand the options and alternatives for continued support. In this case it means migrating to a supported knowledge platform.

That broad statement is simply untrue (plenty of older Mac's aren't capable of running the newest releases of software required to run a full MediaWiki platform.) But what's your point? Are you saying that the solution to a dying software product is to go out and purchase recycled hardware, then build a DIY platform to preserve your knowledge assets? Clearly that's not the best option for many people.
What I will state is that trying to use these mailing lists as an advertising Platform should be an automatic blackball as a violation of trust and a conflict of interest.
