Listservs are definitely outmoded (they were a decade and a half ago). The list is, however, a treasure trove of information. I spent many months reading the archives in the late 90s. I don't think you're likely to lure in anyone younger than me, though, and I'm in my 40s. Maybe it's time to shift platforms. > On Jun 15, 2021, at 2:34 PM, Diana Carroll <dianaecarroll [at] gmail.com> > wrote: > > How would people find out about the list? > > Googling "cohousing" doesn't bring it up -- maybe the page needs to have a > little SEO added to it. https://www.cohousing.org/cohousing-l/ > > I see a link to a "listserv".
