As described in [[News/uvlists-and-vital-communities-reach-an-agreement-regarding-transitions-of-upper-valley-lists]], | As described in [[News/uvlists-and-vital-communities-reach-an-agreement-regarding-transitions-of-upper-valley-lists]], UVLists is documenting the migration of community email lists from Vital Communities to UVLists. This page tracks the planned schedule and process; its subpages provide reusable communications for subscribers and list administrators. | ||
For help with a migration or a question about a particular list, see [[Contact|Contact UVLists]]. | |||
== Migration schedule == | |||
The schedule below shows the planned announcement and cutover dates for each list. Dates and status may change as migration work progresses. | |||
* '''Not | |||
* ''' | The status column uses these terms: | ||
* '''Migrated''' | * '''Not migrated''' — Migration has not started. | ||
* '''Complete''' | * '''Signup open''' — Existing Vital Communities subscribers have been notified. The new list is available for subscriptions but not yet for posting. | ||
* '''Migrated''' — The list is operating on UVLists, the prior Vital Communities list is closed, and an autoresponse directs senders to the new address. | |||
* '''Complete''' — The prior Vital Communities list has been fully retired. | |||
