The best alternative is to mirror traffic to this mailing list to a news server. This is done with all of the jakarta.apache.org mailing lists. It allows anyone to read the same mailing list with any NNTP news reader.
I think this is the best answer for two reasons: 1) It allows flexability in viewing either a mailing list or any NNTP newsreader. There are TONS of these including Mozilla, and IE. To see a sample of this interface point your browser at news://news.gmane.org and try subscribing to "gmane.comp.jakarta.tomcat.user". This gets the exact same traffic as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". 2) More importantly, all discussion stays in one place. Keeping up to date is easier. No duplication of effort. What remains is to have someone from apache grant this mailing list this functionality. Is there anyone out there from apache who can comment? +jeff > -----Original Message----- > From: Apostolopoulos Paris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 2:06 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Is there a chance of having a Forum of discussion ( something > more flexible ) > > > Hi! > I would like to ask if there is a possibility in the near future the > administrative part of Apache Axis , to provide us (the users) a more > flexible and interactive way of talking about Axis , problems > related to > axis..and stuff !
