Hey Pine,
As you know, AffCom started looking into this list after some discussions with affiliates
in Berlin, Wikimania, and at that page you referred to. We did talk with that list’s
moderators about potentially reusing that list (largely why the creation of this list took
awhile). However, ultimately, we decided to proceed with the creation of this list.
The old list is not on Wikimedia servers or officially connected to AffCom, so I cannot
speak to its future. However, it has becoming increasingly inactive, is limited to
chapters (so excludes a majority of our affiliates), and not something we have promoted
recently. My personal hope is that this new broader list replaces that one over time, but
that is not something we can “force” as it’s not a resource we officially help manage.

Hi Carlos,
Can you clarify how this list relates to the existing chapters mailing
list? (Also, please see the discussion at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Affiliates_Network#Mailing_l…
).
Thanks,
Pine

Dear all,
On behalf of the Affiliations Committe, I am pleased to introduce the
launch of the Wikimedia Affiliates mailing list, which is basically a place
for all the affiliates (chapters, thematic organizations, user groups) to
discuss issues related to affiliates, make announcements to other
affiliates, and collaborate on activities and community-wide events. The
idea is to help facilitate the dialogue affiliates across our movement,
plus collaborative discussions like community-wide activities, joint
edit-a-thons, regional conferences, blog/report posts, or other
communications from affiliates.
Each Wikimedia movement affiliate is allocated three spots on the mailing
list. All affiliates may contact the Affiliations Committee to request
additional spots if needed.
Please find a bit more information on Meta:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_movement_affiliates/Affiliates_ma…
and do not hesitate contacting us if you have further questions.
Regards,
Carlos
