Yahoo! Groups alternatives

[squidgestatus]

Posted this to Twitter, posting here as well. You can share as you wish.

Squidge.org has a robust mailing list software package in place that is a healthy alternative to Yahoo! Groups. It does the usual mailing list stuff, but it also does private file hosting per mailing list. If you need an alternative, ping me. Your list subscribers and archive can be imported (as long as you can export them, or grant me access to be able to grab them), though you will have to upload your file archive manually to maintain proper file security.

Questions? Ping me here or email or Twitter.

Yeah!! Question - there are two export methods right now for mailing list messages.

1. Yahoo's Get My Data - exports an mbox file
2. POffline - exports are plain text html delimited, the PG4 database, and HTML files (grouped every 50). Which PGOffline is best for importing the existing message archives into squidge.org as messages?

Option 1 would be best for mailing list owners, as I need MBOX format. However, what I used was something called "Yahoo Messages Export" which is a Google Chrome extension.

Once I get the file, I can import it with tools on my side.

OK, let me send you a PGOffline plain text file with html pipe delimited and let me know if you know if that works for you.

FYI, if someone has used PGOffline and needs help exporting because they have a trial version/tech issues that prevent them exporting, I can help using my licensed copy.
