Re: [AD] moving mailing list to google groups?

[Jon Rafkind <workmin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't see this mentioned but I just saw google hosting on reddit.com

http://code.google.com/hosting/

Im not sure if they are planning to host files and other things SF does
but if so maybe allegro could move entirely to google?
