Speaking from the point of view of a icecast developer and maintainer I'll just say a few things about the new forum. First off, there is nothing *bad* about more avenues of information for icecast. Secondly, we have no intentions for getting rid of the mailing list. Some people love the mailing list, some people love web-based forums and we are glad that we can accommodate both. Duplication information you say ?!?! Hey, duplicate information is better than alienating users if you ask me. Our position has always been to encourage contribution from anyone willing to spend a bit of time...That goes for people writing documentation, translating existing docs, writing quick how-to guides, or even setting up a web-based forum for folks to ask questions about icecast. It's all good and we appreciate these contributions tremendously. They are, in fact, how we keep going as a development project in my opinion. oddsock
