Changes to Ensembl Mailing Lists

In the near future, we will be changing the way that the ensembl-dev and ensembl-announce mailing lists are managed.

The move to new hardware and list management software will increase responsiveness on the lists (ensembl-dev in particular has suffered from slow deliveries for some time), and in time will also allow us to provide a searchable archive of past posts.

The list addresses will change with the move:

  • ensembl-dev@ebi.ac.uk becomes dev@ensembl.org
  • ensembl-announce@ebi.ac.uk becomes announce@ensembl.org
The new addresses are active now.

All subscribers to the old lists have been moved to the new lists. Posts to the old list addresses will be automatically forwarded for a short time, but please update your email address books and any spam filters to reflect the new address list.

Information about the new lists, including details on how to subscribe and unsubscribe, can be found at http://lists.ensembl.org/.

As before, dev@ensembl.org is an open list which any subscriber can post to. Posting to announce@ensembl.org is restricted to Ensembl people.
