That would be horrible to see this list disappear. There is so much archived
knowledge and user’s with much wisdom here.
One of my favorite list, Speech-Dev (oddly a different list than
Speech-Developers), vanished. Even the archives beyond 2004, gone.
There was a treasure-trove related to speech development that is now extinct.
If you Google them, there are still some references but the article results in
“The page you’re looking for can’t be found”.
Example: https://lists.apple.com/archives/speech-dev/2012/Aug/msg00005.html
(gone)
I would really hate to see this list go away. Where on Earth would you find a
collection of helpful and knowledgeable people interested in the same domain
specific subjects you are?

Just a heads up ...
Seems that email@hidden<mailto: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<mailto:email@hidden>.
I"m not sure if there is any impetus to change over and use
groups.io<http://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

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<http://lists.apple.com> are
clearly going away, I made a replacement on the free-mailing-list site
groups.io<http://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 :)
