[Members] Re: Mailing lists vs. MUCs (was: Proposal for a moderation team)

...

So while MUCs are great for fast-paced, interactive discussions where ideas can bounce around quickly, I see mailing lists as far more practical for thoughtful, organized discussions that people can read, reflect on, and reference later.

And to be honest: I don't have the time to monitor, triage and follow the discussions in the MUCs, the mailing lists are much more structured and therefore my lifeline to the XSF...

same here, there are times where I am super busy and miss hundreds or all messages in our MUCs. Mailing list is much easier, also because the volume is super low compared to MUC. Alex
