Hi all,
I wanted to split off the recent discussion by Peter and Travis suggesting
we may consider moving away from mailing lists in favor of MUCs. I think
this deserves its own thread so as not to dilute the ongoing conversation
in the previous discussion.
Personally, I am not in favor of abandoning mailing lists for this type of
discussion. Mailing lists have several important advantages:
[SNIP]
Same here, I'm barely checking MUCs, even if sometime (rarely these days), I
can follow it more closely. Mailing list is perfect for me, as I can see the
main threads, see what I need to check in details, and read when I have time.
I would be a really bad move IMO to transfer discussion to MUC.
Also, as a reminder, I've demoed at last summit the forum I'm working on which
is working with the email gateway : that means that you can have nice UI if
you want while not touching the mailing list, so it works the same for
everybody.
Also, it's really easy to add any feature people wants, like notifications, a
message with topics of the day, etc.
I would be happy to install an instance somewhere for XSF (in coming months),
so we can test.
Best,
Goffi
