Just a heads up ...
Seems that *email@hidden <email@hidden>* has
received notice as potentially going away.
Considering this may be a sign of things to come, Jens Alfke has taken it
upon himself to create parallel groups for most/all of the *lists.apple.com
<http://lists.apple.com>* at *groups.io <http://groups.io>*
I haven't received any such notification for coreaudio-api but hoping to
follow form, I did put in a request for him to create
*email@hidden
<email@hidden>*. I"m not sure if there is any impetus
to change over and use groups.io quite yet but thought I'd just put it out
there for conversation.
Please see the attached ...
Thanks,
-Luther

What you call "a new one" was set up by one of this list's regular users as
a privately-managed mailing list. As you say, it isn't getting much use,
presumably in part because it has not been re-advertised on this list.
Repetition is the heart and soul of marketing.
Mea culpa — I’m the one who set it up, but I suck at
marketing/promotion/sales/etc. I’m more the type who shyly raises his hand
and says “Um, I made something…”, and then gets sad when people don’t rush
over and look at it, and goes home and listens to the Cure in his bedroom.
But I’m working on it.
So, take 2: Since xcode-users and lists.apple.com are clearly going away, I
made a replacement on the free-mailing-list site groups.io, which is kind
of like Google Groups but better. The groups are simultaneously mailing
lists and web forums (and dessert toppings), they support searchable
archives and wikis and calendars and other frills, and the UI is pretty
nice.
The top level group is here:
https://apple-dev.groups.io/g/main
It’s mostly a container for subgroups, of which there are currently five
(but I’m open to adding more.)
email@hidden <https://apple-dev.groups.io/g/applescript>
email@hidden <https://apple-dev.groups.io/g/cocoa>
email@hidden <https://apple-dev.groups.io/g/drivers>
email@hidden <https://apple-dev.groups.io/g/objc>
email@hidden <https://apple-dev.groups.io/g/xcode>
Since xcode-users is on life support and could disappear at any moment, as
could any of the other Apple lists, go sign up now! Tell your friends!
And if anyone who doesn’t suck at marketing would like to spread the word,
I would be grateful :)
—Jens
