<nettime> New FLOSS tool for online groups - GroupServer

["Steven Clift" <slc@publicus.net>]

It would be great to see e-lists like these using the new open source
GroupServer tool.  Anyone interested?

It mixes a smart e-mail list with a simple web forum with a dash of
online community features.

Here is a post I am sharing around the Net today ...

I blogged the open source release of GroupServer today:
