Accepted. Just a question. To keep the naming consistent maybe indian-curry
is better.

[piyush-kurur]

If possible rename the list to indian-curry@googlegroups

[saurabhnanda]

Strangely, indian-curry@googlegroups.com seems to be taken, but I can't
find it anywhere on google groups. It could be that they're trying to
prevent "squatting", but the only way to find that out is by first deleting
indiancurry@ and recreating.

Since we do not have any other members it is okey if you delete it. I would however
see if there is a customer support email and tell them our requirement.

There should be a way to rename instead of create a fresh. That would avoid the squatting
problem I guess

[piyush-kurur]

what is the status of this? can you check and report back?

[piyush-kurur]

I think it is fine to just stick to indiancurry (i.e. without the hypen) if things are not working out.

[saurabhnanda]

let me take a last try on this and close. was busy with other stuff over
the past week.

shucks -- we seem to be in a worse situation now. I deleted indiancurry@
and now it's not allowing me to re-create either india-curry@ or
indiancurry@

This is yucks. Is there any way we can contact their support system ?

[saurabhnanda]

Google is notorious for not giving support for paid products, how can we
expect anything for a free service. btw, indian_curry@ is available.
Alternatively, we can host the mailing list on some other platform (not
Google Groups). Any recommendations?

Got indiancurry@ back -- I guess there's a timeout in their system before
the name can be reused. Let's just stick with this and move on. Unless
indian_curry@ is preferable?

Let us stick to indiancurry and be done with it.

If every thing is working can you updated the announcement post and close this ticket.

[piyush-kurur]

The list is working I have already sent a mail. I am closing this ticket.

So we are finalising on the list name indiancurry@googlegroups.com (without a hyphen)
