It's a BBS/Groupware package that dates back many many years, and offers a variety of options for calendaring and mailing lists. It's GPL now, very easy to setup, and fairly easy to secure and maintain.<div><br /></div><div>citadel.org<br /><div><br /><div> <span style="border-collapse: separate; color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px" class="Apple-style-span"><div><span style="border-collapse: separate; color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px" class="Apple-style-span"><div><span style="border-collapse: separate; color: #000000; font-family: 'Adobe Garamond Pro'; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px" class="Apple-style-span"><div><span style="border-collapse: separate; color: #000000; font-family: 'Adobe Garamond Pro'; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px" class="Apple-style-span"><div><span style="border-collapse: separate; color: #000000; font-family: 'Adobe Garamond Pro'; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px" class="Apple-style-span"><div><span style="border-collapse: separate; color: #000000; font-family: 'Adobe Garamond Pro'; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px" class="Apple-style-span"><div><div>--</div><div>Kristopher Browne</div><div>kris dot browne at gmail dot com</div><div>612-353-6969 home</div><div>612-408-4431 cell</div><div>--</div><div> - - </div><div><pre>QOTD: If you're looking for trouble, I can offer you a wide selection. </pre></div></div></span></div></span></div></span></div></span></div></span></div></span> </div><br /><div><div>On Mar 31, 2009, at 19:31:03, Jeff Nelson wrote:</div><br /><blockquote><div>I'm looking for alternatives to Yahoo Groups. I like the Yahoo Groups <br />features of archiving messages, having a place to archive files, and <br />being able to schedule events (with automatic reminders) on a calendar. <br />Ranked features from most to least important are:<br /><br />1. One email address which reflects to everyone on the list.<br />2. Closed list (only members can send email, joining list must be approved)<br />3. Calendar reminders<br /><br />Nice, but not necessary:<br />4. File archives<br />5. Message archives<br /><br />There are a few drawbacks of Yahoo Groups. First, I want to add/remove <br />people to the list without the list member having to do anything <br />special. Some of the members of my lists have email but are <br />computer-challenged. Second, Yahoo Groups sometimes gets bogged down and <br />timely messages (like calendar reminders) don't go out when scheduled.<br /><br />My group of volunteers has no funding, so very cheap, preferably <br />open-source suggestions are most appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />-Jeff<br /><br />_______________________________________________<br />TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota<br /><a href="mailto:tclug-list@mn-linux.org">tclug-list@mn-linux.org</a><br /><a href="http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list">http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list</a><br /></div></blockquote></div><br /></div></div></blockquote>
