I still don't get why are Web forums so dreaded, but that's just me... I haven't seen a *single* reason why not to make it so... Unless, of course you still want to recieve 500+ e-mail messages if you are away of your computer for a day or two and could not cancel mail delivery temporarily (if you don't get the digest, of course). To each their own, I just don't get why people don't like the web forums idea... Maybe a private NTTP server would be more suitable for this, where Red Hat could even set the caducity of messages. You still need a helper application to read the messages like Evolution, Thunderbird or whatever, and still avoid having *your* inbox flooded.Robert wrote:
The point here is not /his/ solution, but I think he's just expressing what he'd do (and I believe most of us dumb-mortal-users would do as well) if the RedHat guys go ahead with this idea. That is definitely a very bad idea, one that would probably jeopardize the whole "fedora-users-community" idea. There's been plenty of solutions proposed here on this thread there are *much* better than the dreaded web forums.jdow wrote:

Key to the problem is that mailing lists are far from the best medium for end-user support. We need to steer end-users to an entirely different medium in order to scale effectively. Official project change in that direction is happening soon. Read the link above for details.
Eeeewwwww, web forums. Bye guys. {^_^}
Yes. And then there was this shopkeeper who was upset that his shop was so disorderly until he ran off all his customers. EXCELLENT SOLUTION!
I second JDow's opinion. / Eeeewwwww, web forums. Bye guys. /. If they *want* ideas, they'll certainly find within this (so far) community.
