Some notes on the development history
The AnGenMap discussion mailing list was started in 1993
on Iowa State University's Vincent Unix system using mail-forwarding
method.
In late 1998 the list was transfered to a SmarList mailing
listserv customized on a DEC Unix system, where handling of postings,
subscription / unsubscription and other list maintenance functions
were made automatic. During 2000-2005, web interfaces to the
list were developed for some of the list management functions. Spam
filters were added and several patches were developed to automate the
list function management.
In the spring of 1999, a user directory was developed coupling
with the listserv to handle some of the user requests. In 2007 the
system was given an overhaul for better security, to manage user profiles,
and with many more other new features.
