time to e-mail me with your thoughts on the problem? (private e-mail is
fine) If you think that there's no problem at all, hearing that opinion would be useful too!
Thanks in advance, -- Elliot I keep committing atrocities in an attempt to learn from my mistakes.
The major advantage I see for a forum compared to a mailing list is that a forum is more of a "browsing" medium, and mailing list just stuff everything down your throat. I want to check what sort of software problems people have, but to do so with a mailing list is intimidating (when I didn't check my email for a few days and found over a thousand emails, I certainly didn't read them all).
Right now, I go to fedoraforum.org for help, but it doesn't have nearly the support base these mailing lists have. A combination of the mailing list membership with a forum would be nervana and would solve what I believe to be the "taming" problem.
