Hi Matt,

That's a generous offer. I see they're running an open source engine, which resolves issues of proprietary formats should we need to migrate in the future. Please clarify the intellectual property / licensing issues of the posts on the list and the data they're storing. The terms of service are not clear on this question. 

You should also clarify backup. The TORs of onlinegroups.net state that "may provide a backup service as an incidental benefit to their customers. The User agrees that they are ultimately responsible for backing up their own site information, including any data, unless a separate backup agreement with OnlineGroups.Net is in place.

The other issue to think about is whether onlinegroups.net is using any US owned Company for cloud services and if so, whether our group is comfortable with the provisions of the US Patriot Act regarding regarding privacy.

Hi all,

 

Some of you may not know that the CCANZ Advisory Panel has a closed email list, which is hosted, for free, by the folks at onlinegroups.net (https://onlinegroups.net/) This is an local company, run by a man called Dan Randow, who is a big supporter of open research, open data and CC licensing in general.

 

He has offered to migrate the cc-nz list to onlinegroups, and continue to host it there, for free, so I thought it best to put it to the list.

 

For most people, this would mean no change whatsoever, though the main benefits as I see them are: a) we’d be using an NZ company that has been supporting CCANZ for a while now; b) their site looks much nicer; c) their archives are easier to navigate.

 

I’ve been told that the current archive would be migrated and that there would be no real disruption to how the list currently operates.

 

Feedback either way appreciated.

 

All the best,
Matt
