SourceForge is not playing nice on other issues and that moving this=20
list shows their behavior is being acknowledged.

I understand your reason for wanting to delete the Source Forge account=20
(after reading the links). However, the only problem with that is that=20
the SourceForge archive is the oldest one I've found with some early=20
messages from Satoshi. Myself finding Bitcoin after its inception, as=20
well as this mailing list even later on, it's nice to be able to review=20
the archives. SourceForge's interface to those archives is pretty bad=20
though. I'm not sure if there is any way to get older messages archived=20
on sites like gmane or mail-archive? Does anyone know? You mentioned=20
importing the list archive as part of the migration plan, but I guess is =

this easy to do from SourceForge?

              had a similar thought process last week when sidechains
              code was approaching release. Sidechains, like Bitcoin
              itself, are intended to be a generic piece of
              infrastructure (like ethernet?) that anyone can build upon
              and use.&Acirc;&nbsp; We thought about Google Groups or exi=
sting orgs
              that already host various open source infrastructure
              discussion lists like the IETF or the Linux Foundation.&Aci=
rc;&nbsp;
              Google is too controversial in this community, and the
              IETF is seen as possibly too politically fractured.&Acirc;&=

              agreed as OSS infrastructure dev is already within their
