PHP RFC: Moving to Google Groups

• Version: 0.1
• Date: 2016-01-11
• Author: Ferenc Kovacs tyrael@php.net
• Status: Draft
• First Published at: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/google_groups

The elevator pitch for the RFC. The first paragraph in this section will be slightly larger to give it emphasis; please write a good introduction.

Ditch the current mailing list infrastructure including the following pieces on pair1.php.net

• ecelerity
• ezmlm
• colubus serving news://news.php.net
• the news.php.net website
• the news subdomain
• the web/news.git repo
• and eventually the pair1.php.net box itself

and move the current mailing lists including the archives to Google Groups.

This sections details areas where the feature might be improved in future, but that are not currently proposed in this RFC.

This RFC requires 2/3 majority to pass, as it has a significant impact on the community and project operations.
