As someone who has used LaTeX since 1988 but doesn't use

<p>Hi Kris, <br>
</p>
<p>I hope you don't mind, I'll put your question on UKTUG announce.
<br>
</p>
<p>the answer to your question is almost certainly yes. But enough
members have to agree on the same one for it to be useful.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>But lots of people don't like Meta or Facebook. There are
obscure open source platforms with sensible T&C, and
widespread commercial platforms with rapacious/exploitative
t&C. and some less invasive commercial platforms. Somehow,
enough ex-members have to agree where in that spectrum they feel
happy. Let's discuss.</p>
<p>Can you suggest an obscure open source platform with sensible
T&C? I'm signed up to one but it'd take some research to
locate it. I have never used it.</p>
<p>Yahoo groups would welcome us. They are of course commercial.</p>
<p>The nicer groups may need an annual subscription as they are not
advertising funded. But someone might donate the first year's
fees.<br>
</p>
<p>Could I have suggestions for other fora please ? I believe
there are a number of fora already in existence with TeX in the
title. Fewer that also have UK. Your search engine may find
them. Has anyone listening already curated such a list?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>best wishes, Jay</p>
<p><br>
