Dear Chris, Barbara, Tom and all Constellation Talkers,
I am interested to remain on the address list of any continuing
organization following Chris’ original Constellation Talk.
Do I have to do anything, in addition to declaring it here, that I
have to do?
If I do not receive an answer to my question I will interpret that as
the answer “no, nothing”.
Be all very well,

Great to hear some are picking up the baton. Chris do you still want
me to go ahead with looking at the possibility of archiving previous
email exchanges on TKF website? Is that a separate issue?
Warmly
Barbara

Hi Chris,
Freelists is completely free, on Linux, Apache server, it's been
around for 20 years, they say there will be no adds, ever. No limit
on number of users, or bandwidth.
I had already registered ConstellationTalk on freelists a few hours
after your first post not realizing now
that you are looking for more candidates to be the moderator..
Therefore, I would like to volunteer this venue on freelists for
your choosing either for Daniel lr to whoever else of your choosing.
I also have reserved the same name on the following:
Google Groups
Groups.io (http://groups.io/)
Facebook Groups
Please feel free to use them and if you would consider my request...
Please stay
Warm Regards,
Tommy Tran

Has anyone here had experience with free lists and does anyone
know whether they bombard people with advertising or have any
other nasty hidden gremlins?

I heard back from the FreeLists people. Not only can they
import the archives, they already have software prepared to
migrate Yahoo Groups into their system
(https://www.freelists.org/wiki/doku.php?id=migrating_from_other_services).
They said that if we run their script to download the content
from Yahoo, they will do the rest.
They will also take care of migrating the existing subscribers,
which would mean an easy transition for most of the group.
Not only that, but they only took a few minutes to answer my
email, and did so personally.. That is an unusually good sign.
I will try my hand at running their script to see if it
actually does download the ConstellationTalk archives from
Yahoo. I'll then report back to the group. This may take me a
few days..

Greetings all,
ConstellationTalk and its archive are one of the treasures of
the work in the English-speaking world. I hope that it can
continue, along with its rich archive.
I haven't posted to CT before. I'm a constellation
facilitator and a loyal reader and, like all of you here, I
love constellation work. In my day job, I work in the tech
industry and operate an internet forum with about 5 million
users.
I agree with Mishra and others that CT will do much better to
continue as an email list. Many members, including some of
our esteemed elders, do not have accounts on Facebook,
Nextdoor, or other platforms. We will lose them if we try to
make such a switch.. There are many other problems with these
platforms too, but perhaps that's for another discussion.
For email lists, Google Groups and Groups.io
(http://groups.io/) are options. Another one that looks
excellent and has a fine community spirit is
https://www.freelists..org/ ;(https://www.freelists.org/). The
question is whether any of these providers could also
integrate the previous history of ConstellationTalk (all 18
years' worth of emails!). I've emailed both Groups.io
(http://groups.io/) and FreeLists to ask them this. (Google
is too big to ask.)
Chris, you mentioned "migration to groups.io
(http://groups.io/) appears to be a very tedious process. If
someone else is willing and able to shepherd that process
that would be good but I understand there is a queue and it
would have to start soon." Did you hear this from Groups.io
(http://groups.io/)? and could you say what you understand
the migration process to be?
I will be happy to pay someone who wants to do the
"shepherding", if we can find a way to do it. We may also
have the option to first 'reboot' CT on one of these other
email list providers, and then deal with the migration later,
as long as a download of the archive exists.
Thank you Chris for your magnificent work in this community.
Thank you Barbara M. for offering The Knowing Field as a
home—and what a wonderful one—for this valuable material..

Useful and practical points about the various platforms
Mishra
I can add that migration to groups io appears to be a very
tedious process. If somone else is willing ang able to
shepherd that process that would be good but I understand
there is a queue and it would have to start soon.
That aside it sounds like google groups might be the best
option

Hello All
My thanks as well to Chris, and all of you whose sharings
and attention have made the list so valuable since I
joined in 2005.
Looking to the future:
I do hope C-Talk doesn’t migrate to Nextdoor.
I’ve used Nextdoor for years to stay in touch with my
physical neighborhood, which is what the platform is
designed for; one chooses which tiny geographical areas
one wishes to broadcast to and receive from.
Nextdoor is full of ads, even more than Facebook. Both
those platforms are more about serving ads than serving
information.
And I have ethical objections to Facebook’s content
standards and practices, so I also hope we don’t go to
Facebook.
I am on a different list (Copyediting-L) which recently
migrated to *Groups.......io* — another of the platforms
recommended by Yahoo.
That list remains purely about the subject content, as we
have been accustomed to on C-Talk at Yahoo all these
years.
I have no experience with Google Groups, but I have found
several other Google services to be purely about content
— aside from bringing you into the Google ecosystem,
where the commercial hook is not directly based on
advertising.
Special thanks to those who are contemplating the work of
migrating and managing for the future!
Regards,
Mishra Suloway

Hi Chris,
I'd like to ask for your consent for me to move
Constellation Talk from Yahoo groups to Nextdoor (as
suggested by Yahoo groups..)
I am touched by your earnest decision to let go and by
welcoming someone else to take over.
I take it as a selfless act of gifting: giving without
asking anything in return.
In return, without any future obligation or
responsibility of your part, I take it with my own
implied obligation
to continue it as it is.
ConstellationTalk is on Nextdoor but the rules which
you have developed and improved over the years will
stay the same as they are..
We now have 2 more members join me, Daniel G. and Anni
M.. (and more as needed) to complete the task.
We are duly following the Spiritual Family
Constellation tradition;
You are first, we are second.
Constellation Talk will continue to make you proud.
We ask you to smile kindly upon us as we carry on and
in due time be a little better.
Warm Regards,
Tommy Tran
