Open forums with Google Groups

[wibeasley]

So far, we haven't had any proposed site/service that meets the desired features listed in #44. (Besides creating & maintaining our own site like https://openmx.ssri.psu.edu/). We haven't had a decent platform since we left RForge a few years ago (https://r-forge.r-project.org/forum/?group_id=1330).

I think the best option now is to keep our static website and start a dedicated Google Group.

@jrodgers28, @mhunter1, @smasongarrison, @pgok15, do you have any opinions? If so, please respond here, or call me.

Will you please test that you can view the welcome message and the first post/topic? If one of us has questions or announcements, it would be nice to create a quick post.

Welcome to our new google groups location for the NLSY Kinship Links.
Thanks to Will Beasley for his always-outstanding work to maintain and update the links, as well as the user interface.
We hope to see comments, issues, messages, greetings, or other material relevant to your use of the kinship links.

Have a great day! Joe Rodgers, Vanderbilt University

@jrodgers28, I see you've joined the new GitHub org (issue #55) --thanks.

I like that post for the new Google Groups (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/nlsy-links) are you able to join that group and post it there?
