[VicPiMakers SG] Could we return to using the Steering Group email list?

[Stuart Hertzog]

What I’m getting at is that there should be an obvious way for people who have recently joined but who want to get involved with the group, to know about and be able to join the SG list or just a more general discussion list. This means putting the link up at every Meetup and on our Meetup and VicPiMakers Web site.
Without this, yes, the general list isn’t going to get used and the SG isn’t going to take in new people.
As I wrote, IMHO the Discussion areas of Meetup groups don’t get well used generally.

Stuart, there is the non steering group list: vicpimakers at vicpimakers.ca  
but it doesn't really have any members. We're having a hard time  
getting people to use the steering group list, and you want to  
add other lists into the mix? One problem at a time, I think.  

Perhaps the meetup list is a good place for general discussion.
