Clean water, nature protection, and pollution control experts have established hundreds, possibly thousands, of email lists over the past decade. These groups help dedicated individuals network with each other, and the groups themselves are networked and cross-pollinated by enthusiastic subscribers.
This report blends the data I collected during six months of observing relevant lists and the results of an online straw poll. It provides best practices for establishing successful listservs and explores the parallels between this network of networks and newer online communities like Digg, YouTube, Flickr, and blogs.
Whether you are the moderator of an existing listserv, about to start one for your group, or are interested in the “Web 2.0″ phenomenon, this report is for you. I hope you enjoy it.

A very nice report, Eric! I think it does an excellent job at drawing the connections between old and new tools.
