[sakai-pmc] [sakai-forum] Re: What do we think of this so far?

[Matthew Jones]

The monthly costs of the server that host mailman and Jenkins together was
something like $150 a month. We really don't need that Jenkins instance
anymore because we have a Jenkins running on AWS now with the new nightlies.

We could put mailman on an EC2 (either the current machine or a micro) and
shut down this existing machine to save the foundation money but someone
would have to set it up with our custom hacks and configuration which would
probably take at least a few hours.

But I think we also figured Google groups provided more benefits even over
the cost savings, such as better archives of the messages, searching and a
forum style web view.
