- Truncate descriptions
Activity
Following our community meeting we will need to:
- Work on the training page revamp (tracked here: tpo/web/community#265 (closed))
- Create the community>education category in the forum (tracked here: tpo/community/support#40070 (closed))
- Write a blog post announcing the new training resources page and new category.
Sounds good.
The original vision for the tor-teachers@ list was to put hand-selected people on the list to let them together grow a community of leaders and trainers we are mentoring and coordinating around the world.
In practice, the deployment didn't go that way, since it started as just yet another public list that randoms from around the world could subscribe to, and it quickly turned into a place that nobody really valued being. (Same story as the tor-onions@ list now that I think of it -- it was originally going to be for building community between the people running high profile onion services, from Facebook to NYT to BBC to etc, but when we deployed the idea we didn't set it up to succeed.)
So: while you are sunsetting this one, consider if there is still a role to play for a closed community of people around the world that we know are good at teaching, and that we know value Tor, and where we want them to meet each other so they can compare notes and not necessarily have the few paid members of the community team always in between.
@tpo/tpa we do not know who is the owner of this mailing list. Can you archive the tor-teachers mailing list?

sure...
We should announce the change, archive the list, and ping all folks on there that we're moving the discussion to the forum
... but the original request seems to involve more than just archiving the list. :) do you want me to handle this as well? where should it be announced?
for the record, by "archive the list" i understand it as basically following:
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/service/lists#remove-a-list
... which is just
rmlist
in mailman (so that the address bounces and the list is not listed anymore), while keeping the online archives.
