Heya,

I created the mailing list on a google apps account (paying one...) with  
the hopes of not running into spam problems down the road. The problem with  
that is the fact that I did not know about the host of problems I will have  
with google account one... . The latest one is a major problem, where google  
apps restrict the size of members to 1000 members, and we just hit that  
(yay!).

So, I am going to migrate the group to a new group in the "public" google  
groups. I will start to work on it. Sadly, I don't think migrating content  
is possible, but at least I will be able to subscribe all of you. I will  
automatically subscribe all under a "Send email for each message and update"  
option, so you will have to change that to your preference (sorry about  
that...).

Luckily, the group has been mirrored on nabble, and it will remain as a  
mirror to the new group as well. This group will be closed (but not deleted)  
and old content will be searchable from both nabble and this interface,  
posting will not be allowed though. And posts should only go to the new  
group mailing address. I will post details on the new group shortly, but you  
should get it as well via direct mail once I invite you.

I apologize for that. If someone knows of a better way to migrate the  
mails, it would be great.

ok, there seems to be a problem with adding too many users to the new  
google group, so I will slowly try and add users. I hope it won't ban  
the group or something... . Here is the link to the new group if you  
want to register to it: [Redirecting to Google Groups](https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/elasticsearch)  
directly now. I will close this group for posts.

Sorry about all of this...
