[AktiviX-discuss] leaving yahoo groups behind

[NorthLondon John]

Hi,

As I'm sure we all know, many radical groups use Yahoo Groups for 
mailing lists, sharing files etc. I must be a member of at least 10.

Increasingly, I've found that Yahoo's performance has deteriorated to 
the point of uselessness - slow or undelivered emails, flooded by 
adverts, usability issues, etc.

And lets not forget their exploitation of janatorial workers:

So:
For a group without money or tech expertise who need a mailing list and 
some way of sharing documents - what alternatives are there?
What software is there for running such services?
Would it be possible for Aktivix to set up some sort of service like 
this?
