Sounds to me like you ought to investigate Gmane, using either the Web or NNTP interfaces. What does this not provide that you want? It's pretty easy to unsubscribe and then subscribe again, or use t

I find mailing lists convenient in that they are essentially passive. I don't have to routinely check the forum, hitting F5 every 5 minutes for new posts. It's all "automatic" with a mailing list. Be

Hi, The last time I checked the book it was very out-of-date, and that was before Lua 5. We all know how difficult writing a book can be. Specially if you're writing a book about something you're con

I'm going to be spreading Lua within our company and having the "book" (as a real book, not a pdf) would really, truly, be welcome. Is there anything the rest of us can do about it - or is Roberto's

What the? "lua.org officially recommends this forum"? That's quite a stretch AFAICS, it's "a mention" at best in the "Meeting Places" section. Got anything beyond the lua.org link to support this bol

Email notification on a forum is usually only for threads that you "subscribe" to. I do think forums encourage participation a bit more, because you don't feel like you're spamming the entire univers

Google Groups aren't newsgroups -- they use the same interface, but they don't get propagated to USENET. If you want a real newsgroup, then I'm afraid you'll have to publish an RFD in news.announce.n
