Exercise Mailing List

[bugmarkdev]

For user questions and support, Malvika would like to use a google mailing list (bugmark_exercise) instead of her personal email address. In this way, Malvika, Georg or Andy could answer participant questions and see the responses of others.

Note: we also have the Slack option to interact with users.

Question: would a mailing list be OK from a privacy POV? (@GeorgLink @malvikarao)

[GeorgLink]

We would have to let participants know that when they post to the mailing list, that their message will be public and that the email address and name will be public. We can advise them to use a fake email address for privacy or email us directly which, (I know) defeats the purpose of the mailing list. If we want the mailing list to be an official part of the study, then we would have to announce a change to the IRB, halt recruitment and experiment until we get approval. Best, Georg

i see. so let's just list our email addresses separately under "contact us" until we find a solution that does not require us to get IRB involved all over again. i know it is not the most elegant method but it should do for now and is hassle-free.

Couple of ideas:

Option 1) I could setup an email address (like bugmark.exercise@gmail.com) which forwards to all three of us. The protocol would be: any of us could reply to the question, and when we reply, we CC the other Exercise leaders. In this way, all Exercise leaders are aware of the status of the question, and the questioners identity is know to all Exercise leaders but not know to other Exercise participants.

Option 2) In addition to Option 1), I could create the mailing list, which would be 'opt-in' for those who are comfortable revealing their email address to the list.

If possible I'd like to avoid the 'contact any one of us' approach because it's difficult to for Exercise leaders to know how many questions are asked and to positively confirm the status of open issues.

Option 1 and/or Option 2 - WDYT??

option 1 seems best. option 2 would still require IRB approval...
