Hi Matt, list,

Thanks for the great work Dan it has been super. The many decades of great
discussions has been fantastic - as well as the general announcements.
Personally I would prefer for it to live on Github, such as with the
currently empty Hearing Acoustics Audio organisation :
https://github.com/orgs/HearingAcousticsAudio
That organisation I set up particularly for this community as a test for an
idea to move to something a little more modern which also allows for email
discussions plus extra functionality.
I would be happy to maintain the group there. Apart from being able to host
the email list (using the issues tab of general discussion as an example) we
can also host repositories and archive publications in the same location.
That group is not affiliated with any companies or otherwise - other then
the host github. I am not sure if that is a concern or not ?
It may be, as can be seen with Sourceforge (the big product before
github) was bought by another company that changed its policies
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SourceForge#Controversies
which prompted many developers to move to github. But the lesson that
can be learned is to not rely on a commercial product, nor store the
valuable list archive there.
