Dear colleagues and INDOLOGY list members,

After almost 25 years being hosted at the University of Liverpool, the INDOLOGY list is moving to a new address.

I would like to take this opportunity to send a big thank you to our friends at Liverpool, Chris Wooff (Dept. Director, Computing) and Alan Thew (Systems Team), who have nurtured and supported the INDOLOGY list during a quarter of a century.  In 1990, they agreed to take on the INDOLOGY list as a labour of love, and they have done a great deal over the years to provide us all with a smooth, professional service.   They have been unfailingly cheerful and friendly, even on those occasions when members' faulty email accounts were bombarding Liverpool with thousands of error messages.  We owe them a great deal, and send them our great thanks.  I especially send my good wishes to Chris for much pleasure and recreation during his retirement.

INDOLOGY's new address will come into force on Monday next week, 18 February 2013.  The new service will be at a subdomain of the indology.info domain (rather than at liverpool.ac.uk).  We are currently working on transferring INDOLOGY's precious archive to the new service, where it will continue to be public.  We shall also be transferring all your subscriptions to the new service, so you should not need to do anything except start sending your INDOLOGY messages to the new email address.

The new service will run on GNU Mailman software, rather than Listserv.

I shall be announcing the new email address and the members' management web page in the next few days.

Sincerely,
Dominik Wujastyk
for the INDOLOGY committee

With technical support from the INDOLOGY webmaster, Patrick Mc Allister.
