Revision as of 00:20, 28 January 2011

The Mac Ministry List was created to help Mac-using missionaries who had little access to technical support. Over the years, it has grown into CMUG’s online community forum. Join the conversation by subscribing.

At this moment there are currently two Mac Ministry mailing lists. As of January 2011, the old list is still the recommended list to join.

Mac Ministry via macministry.org

This is the original and main list. To subscribe and receive individual e-mails, click this link and send the e-mail it creates.

To subscribe to the list and receive a single e-mail digest of messages, click this link and send the e-mail it creates.

To unsubscribe from the list, click this link and send the e-mail it creates.

Mac Ministry via mac-min.org

This is a new list. It was set up in 2010 and people were invited to subscribe; see CATUG wiki: Transition Announcements. However, the current leadership has not endorsed it, and there is currently only a little traffic, although it is up and running.

To subscribe and receive individual emails or digests, visit the mailman management page. From here you can subscribe to the list, unsubscribe from the list, and change certain options such as whether to receive messages in regular mode or digest mode.

As mentioned at the foot of that page, there is also a separate list for administrative matters, to save stuff of a boring or technical nature from being sent to all members.

Archives

There are no online email archives of the old or new lists. This is intentional, and preferred by a significant number of CMUG members. Instead, this Wiki was set up partly to serve as a repository of some of the best advice which may be of lasting or wider value.

Transition Announcement

The full transition announcement and a following statement can be seen at CATUG wiki:Transition Announcements.

Editors List

There is a mailing list for web editors and those interested in contributing to the blog or wiki. You can subscribe from the mailman listinfo page. This is a public list with a private archive to be used for those contributing to, or interested in contributing to, the web presence of CMUG (blog, this wiki).
