One reason to keep it here would be a certain amount of anonymity and the ability to talk shop among consultants that your next client can't look up and hold against you. <br><br>Personally, I think a list like this shouldn't even have archives. <br>
<br>I suppose you can also use an assumed identity. <br><br>It's not that we are going to be saying anything negative, but it's nice to have a place to ask other professionals questions without it being known by prospective clients that you don't know the answer.<br>

Gang,<br><br>While we are thinking about the meaning and purpose of this group...<br><br>With the Drupal.org redesign, it looks like the possibility of migrating this list serve to <a href="http://groups.drupal.org" target="_blank">groups.drupal.org</a> with full list serve/email mirroring will be possible. My understanding about why this group isn't already on <a href="http://groups.drupal.org" target="_blank">groups.drupal.org</a> is because some people really like the "push" and prefer to engage in this kind of conversation via email as opposed to a web forum. If <a href="http://groups.drupal.org" target="_blank">groups.drupal.org</a> ends up enabling mailhandler and webtomail modules, which I think they will, the result could be the best of both worlds.<br>
<br>There are huge advantages to these kinds of conversations happening on a <a href="http://drupal.org" target="_blank">drupal.org</a> web property. The ability to find them, tag them, reach out to new members is huge. In addition, I find the head shots that are enabled on <a href="http://groups.drupal.org" target="_blank">groups.drupal.org</a> to be really important. It reminds me that I'm working with other people... AND makes it easier to spot people at DrupalCon! There are many other reasons.<br>
<br>So the question... are there any reasons you have for not wanting to move this conversation to groups.drupal.org... once groups has enabled full email mirroring?<br><font color="#888888"><br>Shai<br>
