Dear Dmytro,I think you would be a good choice for admin of the new io groups .You are a long time scholar of Pali and a hermit (like Jim)- I would love to hear more about that!- and quite young.best regardsRobertOn Wednesday, July 3, 2019, 4:19:49 AM GMT+3, Aleix Ruiz Falqués ruydaleixo@...

Dear Dmytro,Your suggestion to move to groups.io seems reasonable to me, because, in either case, we need to chose a new admin. I was also thinking that we could name the new group after Jim, "Jim Anderson Pali Group", or something in these lines. That is simply a suggestion. Let's see what others think.Best wishes to all,AleixEl mar., 2 jul. 2019 a las 21:40, Assaji aavuso@... [palistudy] (<palistudy@yahoogroups.com>) escribió:
Dear Robert,When he started the group , some 18 years back, he added me as a moderator. During this time, there hasn't been a single post that had to be moderated by me - apparently Pali scholars are not especially prone to troll or giving out insults.IMHO, the quiet and reserved character of Jim Anderson contributed to this as well. I will remember him as a fellow hermit.I still have moderator status, but have no idea whether that aids in administering the group (I think Jim was the only one with admin rights).It's great we have you as a moderator, but this doesn't aid in administering the group.So there are two issues:1. Is there a possibility to recover the admin password?This leads to a question of how we are to choose an admin, and what are the requirements for future admin(s).2. Should we move to some other place like https://groups.io or whatever?This requires answering first a question of how we are to make decisions - by voting, by delegating the decision to figures of authority, etc.?Best wishes, Dmytro
