Hi again. I take it the lack of responses mean I should wait it out a little longer?
It's of course up to you, but I recommend Mailman 3. There are still some rough edges, and there are a number of settings not yet exposed in Postorius, but we are working on it and it is quite usable today.
I was considering, as mentioned, Fed Forum (but not much help in setting up), Slack and Flock. Would all mean more work than I can afford.
Which is why upgrading from Mailman 2 to 2 still seems like the best idea.
We would then have the perfect upgrade to Mailman 2, where people could more easily find their topics (aided by a lot of nudging to be proactive in choosing the topic to post in and not doing thread hijacking).
Do you mean Mailman 3?
I looked to see if there was anyone doing this sort of service. All I could find is someone doing their own hosting called https://mailman3.com/.
mailman3.com is a Mailman 3 hosting service unaffiliated with the GNU Mailman project.
I would much prefer to upgrade my C-Panel installation of the lists, which by the way are here:
https://gale-sig.org/mailman/listinfo/galemembers_gale-sig.org https://gale-sig.org/mailman/listinfo/galeexec_gale-sig.org
Any estimate on if/when I would be able to upgrade these c-panel forums (or possibly get someone to help me move them?)
I suspect it will be some time before Cpanel offers Mailman 3. It is fairly straightforward to migrate an existing Mailman 2.1 list and it's archives to Mailman 3, but it requires access to the underlying Mailman 2 file system which you may not have in a hosted cPanel environment.
See <http://docs.list.org/en/latest/migration.html> for more on migration.
