How do I find old email/wiki links that point to pipermail?
The groups.io web interface has a much more robust search feature than mailman so you may simply be able to find what you are looking for that way based upon email title. You can however simply do a manual substitution of the url as follows:

Pre-migration Groups.io communication (1 week before):
...
Greetings Zephyr Project community!
The Linux Foundation has connected with a new vendor called Groups.io, which provides mailing list services in a simple but modern interface. Groups.io offers all of the capabilities of our existing Mailman mailing service plus additional community tools that make it an exceptional service solution.
We are planning to migrate your existing mailing list archives and user lists to Groups.io on Wednesday 3/28 starting at 9:30am PST.
The migration will include details on subscriber preferences and owner or moderator privileges.
Owners and Moderators: Please be aware pending memberships or posts (and similar pending moderation actions) in Mailman will not be preserved in this migration. We recommend re-checking for any such pending decisions and taking action on them within Mailman one hour prior to the start of the migration window.
During the migration window you will still be able to access the archives, however the delivery of messages sent to the mailing lists during this window will be delayed until after the migration of the archives and list members are complete. We will turn off new list signups during the migration window, then this functionality will be restored once it is complete.

What are the key differences between Mailman and Groups.io?
- Groups.io has a modern interface, robust user security model, and interactive, searchable archives
- Groups.io provides advanced features including muting threads and integrations with modern tools like GitHub, Slack, and Trello
- Groups.io also has optional extras like a shared calendar, polling, chat, a wiki, and more
- Groups.io uses a concept of subgroups, where members first join the project “group” (a master list), then they choose the specific “subgroup” lists they want to subscribe to
How do the costs compare?
The Linux Foundation can provide project-branded Groups.io accounts

for much less cost than managing our in-house Mailman systems.
How is the experience different for me as a list moderator or participant?
In many ways, it is very much the same. You will still find the main group at your existing URL and sub-groups equate to the more focused mailing lists based on the community’s needs. Here is an

What is different is Groups.io’s simple but highly functional UI that will make the experience of moderating or participating in the community discussions more enjoyable.
Where do I find the settings and owner/moderator tools?
To change settings while in a group or subgroup, left click “Admin” from the side menu.
Then from “Admin” you can select:
“Settings” to change overall settings for a group, including privacy and message policy settings.
“Members” to manage people within a group, including adjusting their role and privileges
“Pending” to view messages pending moderation

How do I create a new mailing list?
I heard you're looking to handle the communicaiton with the EdgeX and Zephyr projects regarding their upcoming migrations to Groups.io. I'm attaching the two sets of communication we typically send, one for one week before (which for EdgeX hasn't been sent yet), and one for one day before. Please let me know if you have any questions as I'll be happy to help.
Cheers!
