Re: Some thoughts about this mailing list

[Kevin Pitstick <kevin.pitstick@...>]

Generally I find the mailing list format to be sufficient to keep up with current messages; however, it can feel inadequate when I want to search or browse older messages from before I was subscribed to the mailing list.

If there were an interest in adopting a forum, I would highly recommend keeping the mailing list and setting up a forum that mirrors it. Users can post to either the mailing list or the forum, and the message is mirrored on the other. A great example of this in action is the OpenSceneGraph forum (http://forum.openscenegraph.org/).

Cheers,

Kevin

This is a question of personal preference. Have you counted the
number of times your message contains the pronoun "I"?

By all means set up a bulletin board. And a chat room. And
a blog with user interaction. Then everybody can use whatever
they like.

Just don't close down lua-l.
