I don't know much about google groups, but I think the main advantage of the Wikimedia list is that it's a WIKIMEDIA list, so it's a step in the right direction regarding getting the project approved as a sister project.

Hi,

I noticed that the the current Wiki.J.Sci main page https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Science has a button for subscribing to the general WikiJournal mailing list https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikijournal-en. I know Wiki.J.Med additionally has a public google group https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/wijoumed.

(I don't really know much about how mailing lists work)!

Is there any difference between the functionality of google groups vs wikimedia lists? (I don't really know much about mailing lists)! Would it be best to use just one platform for simplicity?

All the best, Thomas
