Being very old school, I think mailing lists rock :-) Maybe we could have a web interface to the mailing list instead of a forum? :-D Kelv Eric Robinson wrote:> i wouldnt say eliminate the list serv > however i would limit it to newsletters > or other specific topics which you would NOT need to > look for in the new forums > > I would also say that the majority of issues > topis > questions > points of interest > hacks > mods > and so on should ONLY be on the forums > > -----Original Message----- > From: icecast-bounces@xiph.org [mailto:icecast-bounces@xiph.org]On > Behalf Of Geoff Staples > Sent: Monday, June 20, 2005 10:04 AM > To: icecast@xiph.org > Subject: [Icecast] New Forum > > > How do people feel about eliminating the list serv in favor of the forum? > > Or limiting the list serv to news? > > I have one vendor I work with that has a knowledgebase, a forum, and two > mailing lists - with much overlap of topics.

I like the mailing list. Nothing to do, just clic receive and I receive all messages. Just glange at the titles in 10 sec if nothing is interesting me, or more If I read threads. Doing this work on a forum would take much more time. Chris
a combination list+forum (all forum posts are posted to list, all list posts are posted to forum) seems to work well for some other projects I work on, but I also don't mind having them separate if that's easier. --mark On Mon, 20 Jun 2005 20:48:49 +0200, Iceuse - Kris wrote:> Kelvin Chu wrote: > > >Being very old school, I think mailing lists rock :-) > > > >Maybe we could have a web interface to the mailing list instead of a > >forum? :-D > > > >Kelv > > Hi Kelvin, > > I'm 100% agree with your idea. > I like the mailing list.
